purchase of a 1964 Oldsmobile 98 convertible
48Super replied to jimmy64's topic in General Discussion
Seeing the car in person was the best possible thing you could have done. Now you know exactly the true condition of the car and you can eliminate it from your consideration with no regrets. Judging from the list of defects you described, it sounds like you know what to look for and this experience will help you when you inspect other cars. Hopefully, you'll find a car that you like in the condition you desire. Don't be disappointed that this car didn't work out, be glad you dodged the bullet. Keep looking and good luck. The right car for you is out there somewhere. -
57 Special with original Hammerhead engine
48Super replied to MrEarl's topic in Buick - Buy/Sell - Not Mine
Does it take a "Hammerhead" engine to pound in a nailhead? -
I never understood the attraction of these things. Looks like a refugee from a "Road Warriors" movie.

Wow! It is amazing that all those items remained in the car for so long. It is truely a time capsule. You are to be commended for deciding to maintain the car in its current condition.

My Buicks are gone but the parts linger on. The parts pictured are free if you can use them, just pay the postage. Help me clean out my attic. 1. (4) NOS AC #48 spark plugs 2. (2) Glass washer fluid bottles. One has the cap and mounting bracket which was bead blasted and painted. Take the pair! 3. Misc. seat belt parts from the 60's. All the chrome parts on these are beautiful. Take the whole lot. Hope these parts will help some folks out.

1988 Mercedes 560SL
48Super replied to philip roitman's topic in The Unrestored Car Appreciation Forum
That looks like a nice car in wonderful original condition. You can rest easy now that it has gotten an "official" clean bill of health. -
Wow, that is very nice. Definitely worth the time spent searching for it!

FOR SALE: 1958 Plymouth Fury--- Sarver, PA
48Super replied to Yellow1301's topic in "Not Mine" Automobiles For Sale
I think he should call that guy back in the Arab Emerites, after a few "Dubies" he might decide to come up with enough bucks to buy the car. -
Sorry, I must disagree with your calling the '58-'60 T-Birds clunkers. I owned a 17,000 mile all original 1960 T-bird for over 20 years and I always thought it was a great looking car. Yes, the 2 seater T-Birds were sporty and cool but the increased sales of the 4 seat version is what helped the T-Bird live on for so long.

FS: 1964 Buick Riviera - "Not Mine"
48Super replied to bkyrd_wrench's topic in "Not Mine" Automobiles For Sale
That engine compartment is scary looking. I wonder what other examples of "outstanding" workmanship exist to surprise a new owner...... -
1973 Corvette clean up
48Super replied to Laughing Coyote's topic in Our Cars & Restoration Projects
I've enjoyed reading about your progress with this great project. Looks like you're doing an excellent job and should end up with a really nice car. About 8 years ago, a friend of mine gave me his low mileage '96 Corvette that he bought new and he passed away shortly thereafter. I had never owned a Corvette and never thought I would but it has been a wonderful car to own and a ton of fun to drive. Good luck with your car and I'll continue to monitor your progress. -
The nicest antique car I ever owned was this 1967 Cadillac convertible. It had 43,000 miles and was all original including the paint, interior, top and chrome. You don't find them this nice very often. It has a new owner now and I miss it but I have a lot of extra space in my garage!

1988 Cadillac Cimarron $20K
48Super replied to Leif in Calif's topic in "Not Mine" Automobiles For Sale
I guess you really can put lipstick on a pig! If nothing else, this car will at least serve as a well-preserved embarrassment to Cadillac.
