A Little Nostalgia.. Used Car Prices
plymouthcranbrook replied to BIRUDY's topic in General Discussion
When I see a car advertised today for $2000 I immediately think” There is a good $50 car” -
Can additives really help? - “stop leak” products
plymouthcranbrook replied to Deadpurpledog's topic in General Discussion
I have used AT 205 with some success. However it only works on rubber so rope seals and cork gaskets are not worth the trouble. -
I had a friend back in the mid 70’s who traded his MGB in on one very similar to this one. Maroon in color if I remember right. A Family addition caused more room to be need and of his MG was like many back then. Constantly needing repairs. He like the Thunderbird but when gas prices began climbing again he was not happy with the lack of milage. 10-15? Depending on where he was driving it.

I knew a man who owned a 1926 Chevrolet that he had restored when he was young (he was in his early 80’s when I knew him about 10 years ago). He had it on display in the Hartford. Wi. Auto museum. He said it was a difficult vehicle to drive and with a comfortable driving speed for the truck of about 25-30 mph made its use limited. I did see it once. Beautiful truck.

Our Chinese friends have a company where you buy the car and rent/lease the battery. When you get low you go to one of their stations and in a very short time the robots swap out your battery for a new one. Supposedly they are losing money on each car and or battery. And the Chinese government is making up the difference. Though I have only heard about the subsidy part and have not concrete proof of that being true. https://www.scmp.com/video/scmp-originals/3168635/chinese-smart-battery-swap-stations-can-change-ev-batteries

1949 DODGE WAYFARER ROADSTER US $23,995.00
plymouthcranbrook replied to alsancle's topic in "Not Mine" Automobiles For Sale
$25,000 is a real stretch for a 49 Dodge. You could drive it as is if in fact everything that has been claimed to be done is in fact done. Even a roadster in the current condition might bring $12,000 as auburnseeker has suggested but I thing given the cosmetic costs still to come that $8,000 to $10,000 is more likely. And I suspect almost anyone who would spend that kind of money to get it would not be happy without at least an interior and paint refresh if not replacement. -

Winston Cup Museum closing; Cars heading to auction
plymouthcranbrook replied to Crusty Trucker's topic in General Discussion
My interest in Nascar died back in the late 60’s when the battles between Manufacturers really came to an end. Drivers are of course important but car vs car did it for me. -

Maybe half the asking price if not much else is needed. Needs a little TLC always makes me nervous. -
