Always buy a new vehicle by negotiating on the price and NOT by the monthly payment! If you need to make monthly payments, then look for the best interest rate!

They don’t call it “DumpMore” for nothing…

TSC is my first stop for anything hardware/house/garage related. It's five miles, next is True Value, another few miles, then Lowe's about :30. The recurring item we buy at TSC is puppy food for large breed dogs. A few years ago I bought a multi-thousand piece nut/bolt/washer/screw assortment in Stainless Steel on-line. Great investment when you buy in bulk. All the hardware stores kill you on price when you only need one or two of something...

Hi, Jack! I was just in TS and looked at the tractor paint. How about one of these: International Harvester Red? Massey Ferguson Gray? Oliver Green? or, Ford Blue? With black fenders and aprons, the darker IH Red or medium MF Gray would look great! You'll thank me one day...

Please don’t paint it John Deere green! Especially with yellow wheels! Then it will just look like you were into tractors and wanted your truck to be a tractor! I would never consider buying vehicle painted in those colors! Go with dark green with black fenders…

It deserves a better fate…

No garage space, Gary? Just store it in your enclosed trailer!

Last time I was out in LA on business before I retired, I spent and extra two days there to visit both The Mullin Collection and The Peterson Museum. If you have not been to either, hurry up and do so in the next few weeks for the Mullin. If you also go to the Peterson, spend the extra money for the Vault tour! Both are worth every penny... My condolences to the Mullin family and all their friends.

Hi, AJ! Are the tires too big? Too small? Or, should they just be black walls? Thanks! Greg

No one will care how much the “new” tires cost in 1987! They are way too old to use safely. Why is the storage facility on lock down? I think Covid is winding down, no? Too many terms! The seller should be an attorney for the DMV!

If you haven't attended one of Ed's seminars it is worth your time! Ed is very laid back and approachable... I'll be there! I'm fairly tall white beard and hair, but I'm a young 57! My name is Greg. Please step up and introduce yourselves...

$68k turnkey - $25k buy-in for this Cord = $43k Could one get it running, driving, and stopping for $43k (probably…) Now add in $200k+ for restoration costs in 2024 dollars. The seller may have had good intentions, but they missed the peak of the market by a few decades. This Cord would have been restored 20/30 years ago, but now unless it has some sentimental value to the next caretaker, it’s destined to languish for eternity…

Amazing it has survived so many years, but in its current condition, its fate will probably be a parts donor…

I agree! I was just trying to flesh out some alternatives! Why not just indicate what row the vendor is in? I usually ask people I am trying to find at Hershey what pole number they are near, that always seemed easier to me than trying to focus in on number plates tacked to the pavement...

I have an idea to fix the empty spaces problem. Assign vendors to rows! When vendors arrive, they get the next (however many spaces they reserved) spaces in that row! Working from the center out will concentrate all the occupied spaces toward the center and leave the empty spaces on the far end. Why wouldn't this work? Steve?

Best offer! MUST GO!!! By when? Or, what’s the plan if there are no offers?

I think you may be a closet Corvair lover, AJ! At least at heart…

I like that it looks like it has a slight top chop AND the overall curvature of the roofline! Will you keep it all black, Earl? Do you have the front bumper?

Since our mailbox is a half mile away, I have been using this for about a year or so…

Sounds like you are trying to talk yourself into it, Jake! I say, go for it!

Congratulations, Edwin! I'm a 40+ year Corvair nut! Last summer I drove my '63 Greenbrier from central Virginia to the Wisconsin Dells for the Corvair convention, but I too am on the hunt for a Franklin! I don't think we met at the Trek, but I was there with my wife for our first experience. I'll be following along on your future posts! Good luck with the Franklin! Greg

If only the body were tan, I’d also 🤮

If legit, Craigslist doesn’t seem to be the appropriate venue to market this…
