  1. That's a nice and clean looking A at a good price! I agree, not for highway driving just country roads!
  2. I have seen better for the money; in fact I almost bought one. The con both front and back bumpers chrome has lost it's luster. The paint looks questionable but that maybe due to bad picture quality. But I must say nave blue really looks good on this car. The engine compartment really needs to cleaned up. I suspect this is the kind of car that I usually run into. This owner probably bought this car when all the maintenance and repairs were up to date and the paint and chrome were bright lustrous. He owned it for a few years and did not hesitate to drive it. Did minimal maintenance over the years and on his last visit to the mechanic he was told of some expensive repairs and maybe maintenance recommendations. He passes on all the work and at that point decided to sell it. Thereby passing the buck to the next owner! My 47 Ford was like that it needed a lot of work, which I did. I have to say the new owner of that car got a gem! That's that car that got away. I should never have sold it!
  3. I'm considering it. Can't make a firm commitment yet.
  4. I like these Pontiac bubble-tops. But I don't like the wire wheels and I would sell the tri-power unit; too much of an headache. The caked on mud especially on the fan shroud is a red flag. I am surprised the seller did not clean some of dirt off the engine before taking these pictures. I think an thorough inspection is a must before buying!
  5. In my opinion he should have left that engine color black. Usually doing a project such as painting the motor on this car does more harm than good. In this case that is true! If you look at this picture you can see a lot of black showing through the red paint on the side cover and the valve cover. There's overspray on some of the wiring as well. A black engine wouldn't deter me from buying it if everything else checked out. But a quick and dirty paint job just means I have re-do all the the work the seller screwed up to get looking correct. I might even go back to black!
  6. This appears to be a base model with the straight 8 and and automatic transmission. I had one, it was the same model and it was a blast to drive. If the interior was correct or close to correct and it ran good it's a 15,000 dollar car. Paint looks decent and the body looks straight. Buy the car as is and do the interior when you can. But this is a 74 year old car, a few pictures and a short description with a low asking price makes me a little hesitant. An inspection would need to be done!
  7. I looks like a decent Buick for a decent price! Just have to make sure the rust is just on the surface!

  10. I like these Hudson trucks. The spare mounted on the side of the bed looks bad! If I only had more room....
  11. Pretty good deal for a nice looking 2 door sedan. Not real keene on gray and dashboard color looks out of place. But for 6043.5 USD why complain?
  12. What a lazy son of gun that seller is. No prep before the photos. Couldn't be bothered to do anything. No interior or trunk pictures; the pictures he took are pretty crappy!
  13. In the seller's description he mentions the brakes have been gone through a few years ago. A few lines later he mentions the things that don't work and one them is the brake lights and turn signals. Does that mean the car hasn't been driven for a few years? If that's the case I bet those brakes need to be gone through again. If was going to buy it would spend some time in the shop correcting the electrical items and resealing the transmission. It looks as though it could be a good driver. I am just not a big fan of the square birds!
  14. Pretty cool car. I like it! But we've seen many mopars here for very reasonable prices. So I think this one should fall somewhere in the low to mid-teens. But it's a great car for someone to affordably get into the hobby
  15. I agree with your assessment!
  16. It's been quite some time since I last posted here. I finally solved an ongoing issue with my Buick and then swap cars and brought my Pontiac to my shop on Saturday. Not one to sit around the Pontiac went up on the hoist on Sunday to do a front end rebuild. We took apart the left suspension and found the lower control arm had previously repaired be someone who did not know how to mig weld. Hence I'm getting another control arm. The right side came apart and it looked ok but some of the key parts were missing the fasteners and some were loose. Now the trick is to beat the metal securing pins out to get the king pins free. That little crescent on the pin is barely visible and I don't believe these pins have ever been replaced. Of course there's the time consuming parts cleaning and refinishing process. I am amazed at these cars that I own; I love 'em but they do come at a price! For this Pontiac, the amount of work that I have had to do on it has far exceeded what I had originally expected. There have been a lot of jerry-rigged and dangerous repairs by former owners that had to be corrected immediately. Lucky for me I haven't ended up in a car wreck due to these unsafe repairs. Lucky for the car that someone (me) owns it and wants to preserve it!
  17. Very cool looking coupe. But lame pictures! The seller states it's all original and award winning.... Award winning? Maybe this model can win awards but not this car! At any rate I hope it goes to a good home!
  18. I really like 38 Buicks and a century coupe is awesome. I wonder what the history is with this Buick. It does not show much rust damage at all and it appears it's all there. If there's no major drive train issues and it runs decently that is a bonus. I hope whoever buys it keeps it original and preserves it!
