zeke01 Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 My first antique car was a Jeepster. In retrospect I would have to say that Jeepsters are a good first car. They are straight forward to work on and don’t cost an arm and a leg. They also draw a lot of interest from the general public. To top it off, they are a blast to drive.

keiser31 Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 WOW! I LOVE those colors. Those are such cool cars. That will make a nice cruiser. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xander Wildeisen Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Looks like that drivers side rear tire sat flat for a long time. Nice looking car, be careful with that rear tire. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PM your address if you’d like it. Someday I will dig out picks of my father’s Pickups. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
victorialynn2 Posted January 21, 2018 Author Share Posted January 21, 2018 (edited) I also wanted to let you all know, that thanks to a member’s huge help, @JACK M, we had a very successful sale! The shop is getting close to empty. I even sold the Lincoln on the eBay auction that ended yesterday. I just have a few large items left that I can sell online, so we don’t even have to have open the sale today. What’s left: 4 Flathead engines, Corvair parts, 2002 Teardrop Trailer to pull behind motorcycle or car, drill press, steam cleaner, wood shredder, armoire, etc. plus a few more trips to the dump and more burning of old paperwork. I’ll haul the Willys home and plan to sell it and the 55 Chevy. I just have the ‘63 Spyder and related parts to rehome to Oregon. Thanks to so many for helping me along the way, and for keeping my spirits up when I couldn’t see the forest for the trees. It’s hard to see my fathers shop so empty, but it’s time to look forward and let go of the past!

Digger914 Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Mr. Willys looks pretty good washed up, all shinny like he is he should sell pretty quick and congrats on selling the Lincoln. Cleaning out dads place isn't easy, on the bright side his place is in Texas and when you get back to Oregon, you won't be driving past it on your way into town. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
victorialynn2 Posted January 21, 2018 Author Share Posted January 21, 2018 He’s shiny from water. The reality is he can use another wash, a clay bar treatment then a polish but he will clean up real nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may be leaving the garage behind but you will always have great memories and stories to tell about it. That’s the best legacy your dad can leave you. Be careful on the drive back north if you are hauling the car you May run into some goofy weather.

auburnseeker Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 I knew it would clean up well and polish out even better. Wish I was the one getting to do it. Still couldn't convince the wife to untie the purse strings. Sales have been good this month but no is paying. That doesn't help either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm certain he would be very proud of you, V.L., for the efforts you have applied and the success you have achieved ..... during a difficult time in his life AND your life, as well. Please P.M. me with whatever CORVAIR parts you are willing to sell. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
