1936 Buick Coupe - $29,000
kingrudy replied to Leif in Calif's topic in "Not Mine" Automobiles For Sale
I sure like the style of the car, but I am no fan of black cars in the summer time. The paint would steer me off of this car especially at this price point. Beautiful car IMO. -
1938 Cadillac coupe - $55,000

Beautiful car, but he might be trying to get all his money back for that frame off restoration. He might just get it, looks razor sharp. I think my 56s may very well be worth 25K and although it is nice, this Cadillac is much nicer than my Buick. Maybe 55K is right. -
If I were selling this car, I would replace the carpet and ask 35K. Maybe the seller wanted to leave one thing so obvious so a potential buyer would not nit pick. Not sure about the eight volt battery, my Buick has had a six volt battery for the 12 years that I have owned it and not had a problem. Very nice looking car.

1977 New Yorker 2 door $6,500 73,000 miles
kingrudy replied to B Jake Moran's topic in "Not Mine" Automobiles For Sale
Beautiful color, not the usual white or black at a very reasonable price. The day will come when I sell my Buick and buy a daily driver such as this. -
IMO convertibles are a Midwest and East coast thing. I grew up in Southern California and there was never a shortage of sunshine. I00 degree heat in the summer made you appreciate AC. So I have never sought a convertible. I moved to Michigan for family reasons in my 50s for 12 years and the long winters made me appreciate summers (still did not seek convertibles, but realized why people celebrated summer).

1958 Corvette, not mine.

Fair condition???? What does one look like in bad condition???? -
I agree. The exterior looks great, the interior looks so-so with some issues with the flooring and the wind lace (typical), but the engine compartment that could look sharp, looks totally neglected. Also look at the the lighting terminals in front of the generator, this looks terrible. A 70 year old car with the original wiring would scare the heck out of me. The blow by from the oil breather can provide the fuel for a fire under the hood. The ignition can be provided by the frayed wiring. Ask me how I know.
