1956 Mercedes Benz 190, not mine.
Ed Luddy replied to Xander Wildeisen's topic in "Not Mine" Automobiles For Sale
Hmmm. A red 190 SL that's not rusted out. Should bring lot's of scammers and fly by nighters. Seems kinda fishy to me. But what say ye of real price for this? -
1970 Mercury Marauder X-100
Ed Luddy replied to B Jake Moran's topic in Our Cars & Restoration Projects
I've been looking for a X100 for awhile up here in Canada. If our Canadian dollar ever recovers against the US Dollar I'll travel across the bridge to get a southern one. Best of luck on your restoration journey! I'll be watching. -

1937 Chevy coupe - $65,000
Ed Luddy replied to Leif in Calif's topic in "Not Mine" Automobiles For Sale
I like the car but the owner is delusional. Seeing far too many of these guys advertising with too many zero's in their price. -
Great day for a car ride in the country

I'm cruising on the north side of Lake Erie. Port Stanley Ontario. Pictures soon I hope. -
All British Show - Plantation, FL 10 March
Ed Luddy replied to George Cole's topic in General Discussion
Ah yes. The TR7 & TR8 finished off Triumph for good..,at least here in Canada. Today Steve I was able to finally yard drive my TR6. A big step forward as it hadn't moved under it's own power in many decades. -
Floors. A major problem if they are rusted. Monocoque type chassis and very difficult to restore properly and $$$. As others wiser than I have said, clean, clean, and re clean for a few days. I'd add spin the spark plugs out, soak with brake fluid in the cylinders for a few days and then turn over with a bar on the crank. If it's freed up it worth more. These old 390 FE big blocks are not too hard to work on.

I drove a 1970 Fury back in 1976 From Ontario to Florida that was a $150 car. Plan was to buy a 57 Corvette to drive back and just sell the Fury to a junkyard. The Corvette was a piece of scrap, owner was a real scammer ( Hemmings Ad). So couldn't find anything else so figured better try to get the Fury to make it back home. Opened the hood to check oil, etc and found a broken plug wire. Got that fixed, put in almost 4 quarts of oil, some anti-freeze, topped up the transmission fluid and power steering and headed home after partying a bit. I was 21 at the time. The old rusty Fury ran great and got better mileage than ever out of that 318. After a full 21 hour journey I parked it in a snow drift until almost spring. It fired right up again and I kept it for another season. Looked a lot like the subject car except for the rust and dents!

1974 Dodge Charger Rallye Hardtop 4-Speed Project
Ed Luddy replied to alsancle's topic in "Not Mine" Automobiles For Sale
Last year I had 3 manual stick shift's none with A/C. I've done my time in the August heat/heavy traffic. Too old to Not enjoy cars. Only one for this year. 1972 TR6. 4 speed no overdrive and no A/C. Not going to see much wheel time after May until late September. -

Yep. The knees do dictate the choice. The increase in traffic doesn't help either! -

Ed Luddy replied to alsancle's topic in "Not Mine" Automobiles For Sale
As someone who was in the 4 speed no A/C club as a kid I'm finally over that. Gotta have Air and automatic. Last year is 1st pic. This year 2nd pic. LOL -
Lovely car. Too far off of my radar and budget to opine upon. Still love it! The last time I was up close to a Duesy was back in 1990 at The Imperial in Vegas. Made reservations to spend time and sip a few in The Duesenburg Room. I've never forgot it. All them sitting side by side with Cord's and Auburn's. The caretaker guy was very nice when I chatted with him. He seemed to enjoy that I knew a bit about them.

The 1st gen Corvairs had different tire pressure recommendations for front and rear and labels also. Of course nobody paid any attention to that. -
1936 Mercedes-Benz 540 K Roadster
Ed Luddy replied to George Smolinski's topic in General Discussion
Yep, I can't imagine one of these being forgotten very easily. Especially when owned by a prominent Baroness who likely had the money to maintain servicing on it. Any shop that did service it would keep tabs on it as well as any family or friends.
