  1. Happy new year everyone.

              I am looking for a straight rust free original pickup.    Hopefully unrestored.  Not running is OK just no rust as I don,t want to do any body work .  

    I realize I am asking a lot and I don,t expect anyone to give me one.  An older restoration is fine also.   

    Any help, any leads would be appreciated. 

    Hope every one is well and have a great year.

    Thanks

    Joe

  2. Hi every one. 

        I had always wanted a brass car and about a year ago I bought one from a gentleman in Phoenix that had medical problems.   I love unrestored things and this car was it for me.  

    I did,t have a quality place to put the car but have a friend that put it in his museum until i could build a place for it and I could enjoy it.   I am in the heavy steel fab contracting buss and I have not had a 

    chance to look up for over two years and the future looks the same. He has sold the museum and I do not have time to build a place for it and it would be in jeopardy if i put it in the fab shop.

    I built a new home a couple of years ago and all I have is a covered but not enclosed garage .   I would be glad to trade it for something I could enjoy.   I love old bikes like Indian and Harley and I am good at fixing them up. 

    I have a place at the shop to keep something that size.  I love old Winchesters and Colts or old engines , old Tractors or trucks or autos that are not as fragile to the elements.   

        The previous owner Drove the car a lot and said it started easy.   The only things not original on it are the tail light and the mag.  I was hoping to find them but haven,t. I love muscle car era stuff also.

    The tools are in the tool box along with the original side curtains for the top. 

    If all this hobby means to you is money and trying to make a buck I probably would be a waste of time. I am mainly trying to find the car a great home and be treated fair.

    There are picts of the car on my previous postings and I can be reached at 928 241 1490

    Thanks

  3. I got my first brass era car. It is an all original Maxwell AB.

    I need a rear tail light and a splitorf magneto to get it correct.

    From  what I read the tail light is a maxwell #4    and the mag is a Splitdorf model H 

    I posted on the Maxwell form also and put some good picts there.

    Any help or leads would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks

  4. Hi everyone. 

    I just got my first early bars era car. Until now the oldest I have had was a 1926 Hupp coupe.   I love unrestored original stuff and the AB is pretty close 

    The seat bottom cushions have been recovered but the backs are original as is the top. The side lights are Maxwell #9 but the tail light is a Solar 

    The mag is an update but I would like to find a splitdorf  to put back on it.

    From what I can read I need a maxwell #4 taillight and a Splitdorf model H magneto.

    It has a flap valve hanging under the exhaust pipe that is accepted by a little handle in front of the seat and I was hoping someone could tell me what that is. 

    I will post some picts and hope you enjoy . I just love to see old unrestored stuff.

    Any leads would be appreciated also

    Thanks for your time

  5. Hi

    I am looking for a maxwell Runabout that I can work on and drive .  I have always wanted a car from this era. Until now the oldest thing I have owned has been in the late twenties. 

    I like cars that are old restorations or unrestored and complete. If it has not run in awhile no problem just don't have time for a major restoration. 

    Thanks for your time

  6. I have an all original 49 jeepster from Ca. that is 100 percent rust free and runs and drives. Top is original and needs replaced. 

    I would like to trade for something early like a maxwell or the like that I could drive and mess with. Don,t need a show car. I like unrestored original. 

    Also like old motor bikes like harley and Indian and 12 valve dodge cummins pickups.

    I can be reached at 928 241 1490

    Thanks

  7. The car has been sold to a great friend of mine. He is in the steel fab buss. and we have done a lot of jobs together. His last name is Gardner and he has a collection of Gardner cars. and when he saw the Pierce he fell in love with it. But then it,s a Pierce , and what is not to love.

    I really enjoyed fixing the car and getting it running like a charm. I want to thank every one for there help like Ed, John at the Pierce parts and all others. The people in the society are as classy as the cars.

    I found me a 1946 Indian Chief that has never had a bolt turned and was in the hands of the original owners nephew. I can,t wait to get it running.

    Take car and Happy New year

  8. I bought this car last spring and my wife and i were going to tour around in it. She passed away from cancer and I am going to sell it. It had a concourse quality restoration 25 years ago and has held up well. It is new mechanically from bumper to bumper and drives great. I advertised it in Hemmings at 88,500.00 and was going to put it on the Pierce society page but I could not get the message board to work. I am in North East Arizona and My # is 928 241 1490. If you are a Pierce member and truly interested in the car I will work with you on Price.

    I will take silver, gold, and I am also looking for a vintage motorcycle like an Indian or ?. Thanks for your time. Joe

  9. Suchan,

    Thans for the complements on the Hupp and I agree with you on all counts. I have always wanted an Indian but I am probably dreaming and the odds are long.

    I am looking for a nice enclosed trailer and if I get one it will take care of my storage problem. I just can,t bare to let the Hupp winter outside and I will do whatever I have to.

    I will attach a pict of the Pierce and hope you enjoy.

  10. I purchased a 1932 Pierce Arrow coupe and I don,t have quality storage for both cars but i still have room in there for a motorcycle. This is my first classic era car and I bought it last year from a forum member named William Bauder and it has been a great experience. Bill is extremely knowledgeable on Hupps and great to deal with. Thanks again Bill. I wanted a bigger faster car so I bought a Pierce and need to trade off the Hupmobile. It is a very dependable driver and my wife and I have driven it a lot. I am not an expert on grading these cars so I would have to class it as a maintained original with a modern paint job. The fender paint freckled from something in the paint when painted but is not a a metal problem and did not bother me as it is a driver. The chassis is in great shape and Bill did the brakes and bearings and it is very safe. All lights work and the interior is very presentable. I did not post a cash price as I would sooner trade and hope I am not in violation of forum rules. I have always wanted a 1940 era indian Chief motorcycle or maybe some other early motorcycle. I don,t expect to get a 100 point concourse Chief for the car but was hoping to find something complete and original that is running or would not take much to get running. My # is 928 241 1490

    Thanks

    Joe

  11. I found this car on Craigslist yesterday evening and it is a little newer than I am looking for and and thought it might interest somebody here. I will try to figure out how to put it on here. It is a 36 RS coupe .

    I also had a guy send info on a 1929 4 door that is all original and it looks fantastic for an original. If it was a coupe I would be all over it. The only thing I noticed on it was it had a carter BB-1 of mid thirties vintage that is same as I have on my Hupp.

    I tried to load the ad on the 36 but can,t figure it out so if interested go to LA craigs and search 1936 packard rumble seat coupe

  12. I am looking for an unrestored driver or older restored car. I have a Hupp Cabriolet coupe now i love to drive and hope to get a bigger car with an 8 in it. I would do a restoration on a complete car that has never been rusty or a car that has been sitting and needs mechanic work is not a problem as I do all of my own work. I grew up in the late sixties muscle car era and have just discovered what great machines these were. If I had the money I would have a building full of them. I love those Packards to.

    Any help or leads would be greatly appreciated

    Thanks for your time
