1967 Dodge van âFREEâ, not mine.

Another chance to use one of my favorite phrases. âSometimes free is too much to payâ đ -
1983 Ford Bernardi, $9,995 Pontiac, IL
plymouthcranbrook replied to f.f.jones's topic in "Not Mine" Automobiles For Sale
Not a terribly expensive choice for a fun little runabout. Just donât get the idea in your head that itâs going to become a high value vehicle. -

Wonder if the puddle under the car is a leak or just a coincidence of parking? -

1955 Chrysler 300, not mine.

Darn it. My neighborhood isnât zoned for a salvage yard. -
Being a 1950 Chrysler product the value will be automatically much lower than a comparable Ford or GM model. As much as I personally like them the styling had become outdated compared to the other makes. Reliability was always their strongpoint. That one in my opinion might bring $15,000 from someone who really wants one. Nothing official there, just what I might pay if the rest of the car was as nice as the photos seem.

1948 Fiat Topolino wood, not mine.

He is to busy pushing buyers away to have time for more information. -
My late Father when looking to purchase anything from an individual as opposed to a retail establishment would absolutely not buy if he could not talk the seller down at least a minimum amount. I saw him walk away from several deals over $10. He was a hobo during most of the Depression and I guess it became hard wired in his brain.

Rear wheel toe in ( 1965 Galaxie LTD)
plymouthcranbrook replied to Wess's topic in General Discussion
I am sure many of us older folks can remember seeing a car â dogleggingâ it down the road with rear wheels following a different track from the fronts. We were taught when looking at a car we might want to buy to drive it through a puddle and then stop and look at the tracks. If the tracks didnât align a bent frame or suspension was a good probability. -
My experience is somewhat similar except the local that I was in seemed to be primarily consisting of pre 1970 cars. Mostly 40âs through 60âs with a scattering of pre war vehicles. When I bought my 1980 Volare four door sedan I got laughed at by some members for buying a piece of junk. Just a few of them itâs true, but some. My experience at the National event I attended was different as the car was welcomed by several members though that said mostly those who owned ânewerâ models.

And itâs a two seater!

I had read years ago that the M151 model wasnât sold as surplus due to âinteresting âhandling characteristics. I canât remember where I read it but that said I have never seen one on the road.
