Thank you

Ok, I gotta ask. What is this car and where did it come from. Google search has a lot of semi cabs and REOs but nothing I can find about this.

I guess a bit of my reasoning about high prices is I look at cars as cars. Not investments, nor “look what I bought” items to impress your friends and foil your enemies. That means I want to feel comfortable while using them not living in terror of another car hitting them. No matter what it is a car that cost $100,000 would make me want to live in it in a locked garage with a shotgun. And I do know people do drive high end cars without a lot of worry. Just not me.

Maybe because it is an early four door it is still out there. Needs a special buyer.

Volo is known locally for asking fairly high prices. I imagine they are still mostly a consignment dealer. That said they have had a reputation of honesty in the past so I expect the same is true today. Car is nice for sure but way above me.

You got a bargain George!

Very nice

I installed a new front and rear anti sway bar on my daily driver back in the 90’s. It had polyurethane bushings. They squeaked intermittently till I got rid of the car 15 years later. I got to the point I didn’t even hear it.

In the town I grew up in the downtown are had mostly two and three story buildings with professional offices and a few apartments on the upper floors. In the other smaller retail areas they tended to be one story until one of the early shopping centers in America was built there in about 1957. Still in use.

The 18(?)digit number that we now use started in 1981. Before that I expect there was a hodgepodge of manufacturers using their own system. My 52 Plymouth is titled with the engine number. The body number and serial numbers are different from it. Folks here talk about a bonded title. Might that work? Depending on the amount of the bond needed to be put up I suppose. I have read about a rebuilders tag sometimes put on an engine to give a new number incase of replacement. Shame the guy that replaced the engine did nit get a corrected title at the time.

Title missing according to the ad.

I don't know if this qualifies for inclusion but I just couldn't resist

Why was I not surprised after looking at the picture to see your name Jack? 😁

You might want to ask here as it is a 30’s to 50’s Mopar based group. I will bet someone there can help. https://p15-d24.com/

Studebaker race team The team at Indianapolis, 1932. Number 22, Cliff Bergere was the highest finisher, third place.

There was one similar to this one on E-Bay a couple of years ago but not as nice as this. I don’t think it ever sold at least while I was watching it. Something about a Chrysler of that era with a three speed is odd to say the least. I did see a few Chrysler models in the mid sixties with a big V-8 and a four speed manual. I think they were both convertables.

Great video of the garage and truck. Wonderful and sad at the same time. Wonderful that the cars are going to a new place but sad that someones life is now being parsed out, probably some to end in the trash. Coming for us all eventually.

My Mother spent most of the thirties and the war years working as a waitress for cash at various restaurants in the Virginia/West Virginia area. My Father spent the depression era mostly as a Hobo, riding the rails throughout the country. They(mostly my Dad were extremely thrifty)(to this day a light on in a room with no one in it makes me itch). Of course added to that was the fact that my Dad worked in the Post Office for his last twenty-eight years or so back when the pay was not as good as today. In addition my Mom would not buy cheap food(we ate quit well as my figure can attest to) so some conflict was inevitable. They never went anywhere or really did anything except a few child centric places when we were kids. Well used cars and cheap furniture. I was a teen when I first remember eating in a restaurant. A whole new world opened up as I grew into adulthood.

I don’t mind a combined foreign and domestic magazine. I have had both old foreign and domestic cars(though we called them used cars back then). However the MGB-GT restomod was a little over the top for me in the last issue. The Honda engine is not what I would like to see in anything except an old Honda. I have to wonder if the columnists are getting “suggestions” on what to write?

Bidding ended. Reserve not met.

Herman a lot more information is need for those who know a lot to help you. What kind of car? What year? What model? What engine? What type of transmission? Three speed, four speed, five speed? If you can post a clearer photo or several from different views that will help as well. Then detail exactly what the trouble is. Then maybe someone will be able to assist you in solving your problem.

I have never heard of this before. Ingenious where the goal is to get there in one safe piece. Not do the climb rocks rollover stunt for fun sort of thing.

I admit to not knowing enough about that era Chevrolets to be able to tell the difference for what should be correct or not. If someone was looking to buy checking that out is necessary as the price is what we poor folks consider a good chunk of money. That said I still like it.
