I am looking for a car that is an unrestored driver or an older restoration as I plan to drive the car a lot. I don,t mind restoring a car that was never rusty and is complete . A car that has been sitting for years with mechanical problems does not bother me because I do all of my own mechanic work. Even though I can,t afford a number 1 concourse car i applaud all of you that do and hopefully someday. Thanks for your time Joe Hardin 928 241 1490

Hi, My name is Joe Hardin and I live in North east Az. I have always been into late sixties muscle cars and when a 1968 hemi roadrunner went to a100k a few years ago I felt that people were putting a little to much value in a car that was basically a cheap mass produced rattle trap. Just my opinion please don,t shoot me. I lost interest in them and have not had a collector car in a few years. Since I was a kid I always wanted a coupe and a few months ago I bought a supper nice Driver quality Hupmobile A model cabriolet from a guy in Nj. He is one of the nicest guys I ever met and I love the car and drive the heck out of it. These cars are way more than I ever thought they were so now I am hooked. I would like to buy a bigger more powerful coupe that is an unrestored or lightly restored driver. I can,t afford the major blue chip cars and have to look towards a mid level car. I don,t mind mechanic work as I over hauled every thing from mack truck engines to 426 hemis. I would do a restoration on a worthy car that has never been rusty and is together and complete. I am in the metal fab buss, and have a full metal and wood shop. I always wanted to build a motor bike so I did. I built every thing from the wheels , frame, fenders , tank ,lights and so on from scratch. I will throw on a few picts and hope you enjoy. Thanks for a great site and thanks for your time.

Avantey, I realt took a long look at the L series coupe on ebay and I just could not get a feel for that car. It looks to me like they took a quick shot of a super gloss base coat clear coat black and did the wheels. I would really have to see this car in person and crawl all over it before I could buy it. The Buick I was working on sold and congrats to Clay the owner. I think he is off to his next project. I had a message this mourning from an AACA member in NJ and he has a 1929 Hupp A with all the fancies on it. It has six wire wheels, rumble seat and is in supper nice condition. Brakes have just all been done and he sent picts of his work and it is outstanding. Price is very fair and I am going to buy it as it is a lot nicer car than i had planned on owning. My next faze is to get it from NJ to Az and it has been a long time since i have shipped a car across country. Any suggestions on the best and most reasonable priced way to do this would be great because I am out of this loop. This car most definitely needs to be in a closed carrier. Avantey your wife said you cant have em all and my wife said if I can have this one we can have some new flooring in the family room and the kitchen. OH well sounds like a hell of a compromise to me. Guess I better get my Knee pads out. Take care Joe

Jon37, Thans for taking your time to help keep me out of trouble and i really appreciate your thoughts. I find it a shame that these great and luxurious cars have fallen out of grace with the collector but I guess i can benefit as in getting more car for the money. I called on the Hudson and they wanted 32 and I don,t think it is near as nice as the cars on line car that sold for 22. I am fascinated by that f head valve arrangement and the power it made. I am looking at a 1928 Buick master six 128" WB Country Club Coupe that is in nice shape and sits on its very nice original unrestored drive train and chassis. The body is an older restoration that is nice but never was concourse. It is almost to nice as i plan to drive whatever i buy a lot. It is on ebay at this time. Buick looks like it has a great following and I looked to see and there are a lot of parts available likes Bob,s automobilia. That engine is very nice to look at and I love the idea of overhead valves in 1928. I think this car can be owned in the upper teens. The guy that has it is supper nice and is very knowledgeable. He has it running great. Thanks again for your time Joe

Jon37, Thanks for the heads up and I saw that car. It looks to be an old restoration to me also. IT looks to be in a lacquer paint job from the looks of the cowl vent and the interior is quite worn, stained and faded. It went to 15,700 on ebay and they did not sell. I thought that was getting to be fair money for the car but I don,t know these cars as I have always been into late sixties muscle cars. would it be ok on the site for you to give me your thoughts on value. any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Hello, I am looking for a mostly original or mildly restored car for a driver. I don,t mind mechanic work but please no rust. My hope is for a mostly original unrestored car and not a car that was ever brought back from a pile of parts. I can,t afford the rare classics like the packards and there are a little over kill to drive around a small town. I hope to find something like the big sixes or an 8 . Hudson super, Nash advanced, Buick master or the like. An older restoration that has passed it,s show prime would be fine to as I plan to drive this car a lot because I live in a very small town.
