  1. Was part of the Mark Smith collection featuring 100+Classic Cars stored in Lynchburg Va. warehouses that sold in 2022. True Model 561 Convertible-not a hacked up coupe. Now in Northern Va, 2 hours South of Carlisle. It was probably in dry storage for 30 years. Unibody construction is solid. Some crusty rust on transmission crossmember and suspension components. I put a water pump in it along with rebuilding the carburetor and fuel pump along with flushing the radiator,gas tank and adjusted the valves. Gas tank was drained when placed in storage, Motor has good compression and runs great. Car still has original shocks and exhaust system. True Miles unknown. Title shows Mileage/ TMU. Bottom white paint and convertible top replaced before storage. Crack in front windshield. Will 'yard drive' in 1st, 2nd and Reverse. Transmission is loud./noisy. Brakes need overhaul. Will include good used transmission with sale. Looks to have had a new top installed along with 4 Sears bias ply tires before placed in storage 30 years ago. Door pillars solid as a rock. Doors don't sag and close with great gaps. Lights, turn signals and wipers work. Assorted dings and a dent on PS side fender. Upholstery is crumbling. Call for more info. Too many projects and moving to smaller residence. Call N1ck 703-966-8422 or PM to discuss. Very interesting car. Not many solid Met convertibles for under $10K. Tidy up or take to the next level Might trade for another British car or a Ford Falcon.
  2. Smaller 28/29 cab for big/tall guys. I've seen the cut back seat spring area to gain more space. 30/31 cabs are roomier.

  5. Looking for 1050-53 'Louis Lane' style driver quality road ready car. Prefer original or older restoration. Would consider a car which had been in extended storage needing sorting out No major projects -incomplete restorations-resto rods etc. Any leads appreciated. Will travel for right car.

  6. That's what they pay insurance for. Was the oil slick from the Lincoln or another tow earlier in the day. We'd be interested in knowing what happened.
  7. Try Mr. Earl in the pre war Buick forum. Several years ago I sold him a 36 Model 80 he used for yard art. Motor was satill in it but I can't remember if manifolds were on it. I think /36 was one year only for that design on the big motor

  10. I've received photos of a a vehicle in Ames Iowa and have an interest in it- but not much is revealed about the undercarriage. Its a 40's Chevrolet Truck. It's been in storage for years and I know what will be involved in getting it back up and running. I'm in VA and have no friends etc in the area. I'd gladly reimburse someone for their time or provide a gift card etc to the restaurant/movie theatre etc of their choice etc. I just would like to know it isn't a rust bucket underneath or cobbled together. Please PM me thru the site or call me at 703-966-8422. I've worked this type of "Buddy" system for several folks that had an interest in vehicles in my neck of the woods and saved them a lot of grief as the cars were really patched/cobbled up. Thanks in advance Thanks Nick A.
