  1. Did not recognize that to be a vinyl top just by looking at the picture. That would be a significant negative, n'est-ce pas? http://sfbay.craigslist.org/pen/cto/6110023218.html I saw Nick's post on this one earlier today.
  2. It's common for people to list like this just to get exposure and sell outside of eBay. Like using an unreachable reserve. They they may get contacts after it ends. See, this seller put his phone right there in the ad. CONTACT- PETER KRELL 469-569-0827 Driver's door sill needs some love too.
  3. The 1903 models of the Pullman had six wheels, two in front, two in back and two in the middle, which were the actual drive wheels. The idea sprang from the Pullman rail cars. The automobile was named after the rail car, which had six wheels in the front and six in the back. That was OK for rail cars, but it was a dismal failure for automobiles. "With a rigid frame, if you hit a gully, the middle wheels spun," Vaughn said. "They were up in the air. The guy who designed it was so embarrassed, he tore it apart and made it a four-wheel car and changed the name to York. But nobody wanted to buy a York, so he went back to the Pullman name." http://lancasteronline.com/news/wheelin-in-the-years/article_dcddb350-6a1b-55f6-8c20-4b87f472557e.html

  5. THE CAR IS A ROUGH CORE FOR A REBODY OR CONVERSION. FRAME AND BODY ARE RUSTED . ,BUT THE TIRES HOLD AIR AND IT STEERS. I DONT NEED ANY SMART COMMENTS ABOUT HOW ROUGH IT IS. Someone should send him a smart remark as a question, and post his response here.
  6. I used to have one of these. It is not British though.
  7. http://www.pressdemocrat.com//news/6928248-181/vintage-car-driver-dies-in A Honolulu man participating in the California Mille vintage car tour was killed Tuesday in Mendocino County when his 1939 V-1 Jaguar crashed into a tree near the shoulder of Highway 128, the CHP said. The man, whose name and age were not released by the CHP, was driving the white Jaguar east on Highway 128 near Navarro about 2:30 p.m., when for an unknown reason he drove off the road and onto the dirt and grass shoulder until slamming into a large tree, the CHP said. Related Stories The man was not wearing a seatbelt and was partially ejected from the vehicle, according to a CHP collision report. The front right portion of the Jaguar struck the tree. A passenger in the vehicle, Ai Origake, also of Honolulu, received major injuries. Orikake was wearing a seatbelt. She was transported to Santa Rosa Memorial Hospital and reported in serious condition Tuesday night. The four-day California Mille, now in its 27th year, is one of the world’s premiere classic car touring events, taking participants on 1,000 miles of California’s back roads. CHP officials do not believe alcohol was a factor in the accident.
  8. Highway 128 looks to be a nice drive, with some tight winding curves as you get closer to the coast. Have not done it myself. You could then go north on CA 1 to Fort Bragg then east on CA 20 to Willits and back down the 101. Would make a nice weekend trip with an overnight stay in Fort Bragg.
  9. I got a windows 8 laptop, hate it so much I don't really use it. Handling pictures and documents is way too confusing.

  11. The unidentified driver was in a 1939 Jaguar at 2:30 p.m. going east on SR 128 when the car veered south off the road. The car strayed onto the dirt shoulder and crashed head-on into a tree, partially ejecting the driver, who died on scene. http://www.willitsnews.com/20170425/driver-dies-in-crash-during-california-mille-near-ukiah Info on the founder of the Mille - http://www.nytimes.com/2012/07/07/automobiles/collectibles/martin-l-swig-dies-at-78-started-vintage-car-rally.html

  13. That is North Dakota patina, not your ordinary patina.
  14. Oregon, Wisconsin is only 11 miles south of Madison, Wisconsin. Were you thinking the state of Oregon?
  15. link http://www.ebay.com/itm/1966-Ford-Mustang-/332186626242?hash=item4d57dda8c2:g:HK0AAOSwWkJY9WgH&vxp=mtr So it really was in a museum, the BlackHawk Museum. http://www.blackhawkmuseum.org/?hp=5793451706679296 Klasse Auto is very proud to offer this very rare and original 1966 Ford Mustang GT350 Hertz. Don't miss this opportunity to get a killer deal on a genuine and verified GT350 Hertz. This car has spent the last 20 years in a California warehouse and before that was in the Blackhawk Museum. If you are a die hard Ford Mustang collector or want to become one this is definitely one of the cars you want in your stable. This is a local car so there is zero rust issues and the interior on the car is all original as well. It comes with the Shelby American World Registry book showing the VIN # of this car as well as a GT350 serial number verification letter from the Shelby American Club. As I said before the car has been sitting on rollers in a warehouse the past 20 years. When we got it we just changed all the fluids, installed a new thermostat, and had the radiator gone thru so just the normal maintenance due after sitting. This is the REAL DEAL and NOT A TRIBUTE car to be clear and 100% Original. Most items on this car are original especially in the interior, the rear quarter panes have been changed at one time and the engine block itself is not a matching number. If you know what you are looking at you know this is the one! It starts right up every time and runs amazing for being an older car. Any questions or concerns and if you need to inspect the car please do before the auction ends. Any questions about the car don't hesitate to contact us ....
  16. (No mention of the Auto Buggy though) The LACROSSE PLOW Company, LaCrosse, Wisconsin. Hirshheimer, Albert 1840 - 1924 A manufacturer, born in Wiirtemburg, Germany. He moved with his family to Pennsylvania in 1850, and to Wisconsin in 1856, settling in La Crosse. In 1865 Hirshheimer became co-owner of a La Crosse plow shop and was sole owner in 1881. In 1893 the business was incorporated as the La Crosse Plow Co., with Hirshheimer heading the firm until his death. He had interests in several other businesses including the La Crosse Rubber Mills, the Wind River Lumber Co., and the Batavian National Bank. Hirshheimer, Harry Julius 1871 - 1952 His son, HARRY JULIUS HIRSHHEIMER, born in La Crosse, graduated from the University of Wisconsin in 1891. He was vice-president of the La Crosse Plow Co. (1893-1924), and was president of the firm from 1924 until it was sold to Allis-Chalmers in 1929. He was president of the La Crosse Board of Trade (1897-1898) , was secretary and treasurer of the Sta-Rite Engine Co. (1911-1916) and was a founder of the La Crosse Industrial Association. One of the founders of the La Crosse County Historical Society. http://buzzcoil.brinkster.net/starite/page110.html Here's a different similar "1908 Pioneer Auto-Buggy"https://books.google.com/books?id=1RVaAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA933&lpg=PA933&dq=La+Crosse+Auto+Buggy&source=bl&ots=gA6_UYmvQd&sig=4mUw34oyQ6VD84NQZzLF6CBUCQM&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjG5qjk87XTAhUl4IMKHVejBocQ6AEIZDAI#v=onepage&q=La Crosse Auto Buggy&f=false
  17. A good video on an Alfa 1900, but the narrator does not seem to be Italian.

    Dynamat?

    Don't use the mat anywhere water could collect. For instance when putting it inside the door don't extend all the way to the bottom area where water could puddle. Stop short of that. Bottom parts of doors rust out because water doesn't drain out well enough. I could show pictures of that for proof if anyone is interested.
  19. The Gladiator in that particular size seems out of stock only temporarily on this website for online retail. Here's a couple others to consider: Hankook, a brand often used on delivery trucks, known to be good but less expensive than Goodyear, Firestone, etc. https://www.tires-easy.com/brands/hankook-tires/dynapro-ht-rh12?code=2001832 And Kumho - https://www.tires-easy.com/brands/kumho-tires/road-venture-apt-kl51?code=2103043 Tread seems to look appropriate for street use meaning they should ride quiet. Should be about $500 to $580 for all four including shipping.
  20. You can look up tires here. Seems to be lots of LT215/85-16. This place I bought from, happened to get some 175/80-14 which are totally unavailable from any local dealers. They arrives via FedEx and I picked them up at my local FedEx office and got them mounted and balanced for $80 by a local shop. Tires-Easy I believe really just collects the money and has the manufacturer, whoever it happens to be, send them to you directly. http://www.tires-easy.com/tires/215-85-16?filtering=,price
  21. If the original correct size is 6.00-16 How would that translate into a width/aspect ratio size? I recall we used both 7.00-15 and 215/80-15 on our '64 Dodge half ton pickup. But I think the 215's were wider than the 7.00, and also the 7.00-15 seemed to have a taller aspect ratio than 80 series. It has been suggested to use 215/85-16 in place of the 6.00-16. I think those are much wider, isn't that 215 millimeters which would convert to 8.46 inches? And I am also curious how the outside diameters would compare. Generally the tread width should be about the same size as the rim width so the sidewalls are not splayed out, which would also cause the tread to be higher in the center.

    Dynamat?

    I would use it on my roof too if I could afford it, but ordinary felt paper is many times cheaper for that. Bituthene I think was the first of it's type. Many similar products now. http://www.whitecap.com/shop/wc/p/wr-grace-bituthene-3000-36-x-66-membrane-roll-582
  24. many good pictures here - http://www.alfacompanion.com/
