  1. Probably has been sold already, as the seller deleted the listing.

  3. 1923 Chevrolet Superior Coupe, (408) 401-6568 I bought this 1923 Chevrolet Coupe. It is a really neat little old car. It's in great condition. It's just not for me so I want to see if anyone else would want it. It starts, runs, and drives but has a dead battery at the moment. The car is really solid with no rust anywhere. All of the wood on the car is in excellent shape! It still has the original interior in it. Still has all of the original glass in great condition. This car is complete and in great condition for it's age but it is a 94 year old car and does need some work. It has been kept indoors for it's whole life. Prior to my ownership it was owned by a Chevrolet car dealer in Garberville Ca. It sat on the showroom floor of the dealership for 60+ years. The gentleman I bought it from had it stored inside for the past 17 years. This car is out of the DMV system and has no title. Sold with a bill of sale. Call me if you are interested. I can show it to you just about anytime. Open to serious cash offers. Possible trade for a car in the same value range. If you want a car that will get peoples attention this is it! When is the last time you have seen a 1923 Chevy? It's not like a 23 Ford Model T, you see those everywhere. Link - http://sfbay.craigslist.org/sby/cto/5990963108.html
  4. Solid wire has the same resistance as strand wire if the material and net cross sectional area are the same. That is a physics principle. No need to look at resistance charts. All the resistance charts show you is that for wire of THE SAME GAUGE the solid and stranded DO NOT have the same cross sectional area. And the weight per unit length is NOT the same. For example for 14 gauge the solid has a weight per unit length of 10.9 while the stranded "7/22" has a weight per unit length of 14.0. So the stranded obviously has less resistance than the solid but is also weighs more and contains significantly more metal per the length. No solid wire does not have less resistance. No stranded wire does not have less resistance either. They are equal if of equal cross section and material. The formula fro resistance is this:
  5. There is no inventory list. Lots of pictures but not labeled. Is this a BMW 507? This looks like a French car What is this?
  6. Those clip on wheel weights I got less than a year ago must be zinc; they look too shiny to be lead.
  7. Glass balancing beads for inside the tire. http://www.counteractbalancing.com/
  8. Very interesting, I thought I had wheels balanced with lead clamp on weights less than a year ago. Need to go check them. But they have been banned in California at least since 2010. CALIFORNIA'S LEAD IN WHEEL WEIGHTS RESTRICTION As of January 1, 2010, California law prohibits the manufacture, sale, or installation of wheel weights containing more than 0.1% lead. A person violating this law may be penalized up to $2500 per day per violation. California Health and Safety Code Section 25215.6-7 1.6 million pounds fall off each year Lead contaminates and endangers the aquatic food web Roadway traffic grinds lead wheel weights into dust which contaminates the air Lead dust from wheel weights is washed into storm drains that connect to creeks, rivers, lakes and ocean Lead poses a danger to the environment because it can inhibit growth processes in plants and marine algae and can alter blood chemistry in fish, amphibians, and birds (U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Contaminant Hazard Review Report No. 14). http://www.dtsc.ca.gov/PollutionPrevention/ToxicsInProducts/leadwheelweights.cfm http://articles.latimes.com/2008/aug/21/business/fi-wheels21 Not federal though at this point, only 7 states. Without EPA action, the management of lead vehicle component bans has fallen back onto states. California, Washington, Maine, Illinois, New York and Vermont were the first states to ban lead wheel weights. Minne­sota, earlier this year, proposed a similar ban. “We manufacturers don’t all agree on everything but one thing we all agree on in the industry is that sitting where we sit right now, at 50% lead, 50% lead-free, is about the worst place we could be from a cost perspective,” http://www.tirereview.com/when-if-lead-is-banned/ The use of clip-on wheel weights is decreasing as original equipment manufacturers move toward more adhesive wheel weight automation at the factory level. “With this you are seeing a growth in flangeless rims and thus a growth in adhesive weight usage inside the aftermarket,” says Parker. St-Onge says that as the passenger car market trends toward more flangeless wheels, the need for clip-style wheel weights will decline. “We expect that adhesive or stick-on wheel weight use will continue to increase.” http://www.moderntiredealer.com/article/715315/wheel-weight-update-when-lead-is-banned-many-dealers-try-steel-first
  9. Yes the survey has nothing what-so-ever to do with the attachment method, be it clip or adhesive. It has only to do with the material of the weight itself, be it lead, zinc, steel, or plastic with steel. And a very main concern is do you put a high priority on the environmental aspect of it, specifically :Environment friendly materials (lead free). Or do you not care one wit about the environment and the poison lead presents, and go with lead because it is more readily available, cheaper, or looks better (aesthetics). This may be nothing more than gathering information for a marketing statistics exercise.
  10. I started taking the survey then realized it was not for consumers so I aborted. Only two types i have ever had is clip-on lead, and lead with adhesive double stick tape on the back. Clip-on lead damages alloy wheel lips so they need stick-on. When recently taking in some newly repainted steel wheels for new tire mounting I wa asked whether I wanted clip-on or stick-on. I chose clip-on because they are less likely to fall off. The stick-on might not adhere to fresh paint well.
  11. You could attempt a diy hand stitched repair. Would need to use heavy t90 uv resistant upholstery thread. tutorial - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jkFN20AyrRE&list=PLoSIdv1C9uyTMWe4BMXWMtxDCVMYprK8T&index=8 other stitches - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLoSIdv1C9uyTMWe4BMXWMtxDCVMYprK8T thread - http://www.coatsindustrial.com/en/products-applications/industrial-threads/ultra-dee
  12. There are many vehicles left behind on properties that go through probate. You have to buy them without a title unless you want to leave them go to the crusher. It's nothing to be ashamed about. The legitimate heirs can sell off vehicles left on a property, providing a bill of sale only if they have access to nothing more. Where's the pink slip? Who knows. Can't ask the decedent. One of my neighbors is a licensed tow truck operator, a one-man operation. He will tow a vehicle that appears to be abandoned IF the property owner directs him to. He can notice whoever may be the registered owner and if they don't claim it get a new title. He in fact does tow abandoned cars, trailers, tractors, boats often. Sometimes it is the vehicle owner requesting it be towed, and sometimes the owner of a rental property. Some landlords have tenants that get hauled off to jail One of my neighbors had to go off his property to be cared for due to heart failure, and had over a dozen vehicles parked out back. Local government wanted his place cleaned up anyway. I would have bought at least one off him, but he wanted too much and it had some rust. So he departed with all them left there. So one of his relatives, helping to care for him and the home he vacated, let the city call in a tow operator of a wrecking yard to haul them off. I bought my Alfa Romeo from a classified newspaper ad. It had no title. The guy who had it and his friend had apparently towed it from somewhere. The registration tag on the license plate was 12 years old, it had been parked in a field. In California if a car has gone unregistered more than 10 years it drops out of the DMV computer system. I was to take the bill of sale to the dmv, request paperwork to replace a lost title (pink slip in CA) and the seller could help me by signing off that he had lost the title. I went to the DMV and it was not out of the computer, because instead of just letting the registration expire the prior owner had paid to put it on nonoperational status. It was in the name of someone other that the relatively young guy who sold it to me. I had withheld some payment telling him I'd pay the balance when the pink came. He ended up paying some outfit to get a lien sale title for it.
  13. Yes there were a lot of them back then. I remember, I subscribed to Car and Driver, Car Craft magazine, and some others. Many kit cars advertised in the back commercial classified ads section. Make your Corvette "look like' a Ferrari. There was a 1930's Alfa Romeo VW kit car, saw one for sale recently. The most natural kit would be to make your VW Bug into a Porsche 356. Most the kit cars used VW bugs i think. these are very expensive, Intermechanica fiberglass Porscche body to put on a VW http://www.kitcarlist.com/porsche356.html
  14. There are many of those ridiculous things for sale on my local Craigslist. 1929 Mercedes Gazelle on a Volkswagen chassis. http://sfbay.craigslist.org/pen/cto/5934158115.html http://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/cto/5953263898.html If you want you can look up Mercedes Gazelle on your local Craigslist and probably find an owner you could give it to. You are very generous. here's 4 more http://sacramento.craigslist.org/cto/5953572856.html - front engine! http://stockton.craigslist.org/cto/5957063759.html http://monterey.craigslist.org/cto/5910407187.html http://modesto.craigslist.org/cto/5945953633.html
  15. I think you may mean Facebook Marketplace. No I have not and cannot use it, but have heard of it. Can only be used with a smart phone and the Facebook App, not a regular computer browser. The phone keeps track of where you are and only shows you things for sale near where you are. I suppose your son was using it with a smart phone. Here's some information. http://www.facebook.com/Marketplace-231693550250356/ http://www.facebook.com/fbmarketplace/ http://www.facebook.com/help/community/question/?id=10157960627480604 There is also something called the Close5 App that is like garage sales on your smart phone. You can list furniture, bikes, cars, and whatever for sale using your smart phone and people close to your location can see it. Click on this link you will see things for sale. http://www.close5.com/ http://www.close5.com/apps
  16. If using ebay put a reserve and don't be shy about relisting it. You may need multiple goes at it to get a fair price.
  17. I recall seeing a PBS show on this and how it was unlawful for Cubans to be operating auto repair shops out of their garages for profit not authorized by the government. But some did it anyway, under the radar and maybe officials didn't mind looking the other way. One fellow was specialized in sheet metal and it showed him shaping a new rear fender of sheet steel by hand. Can't find that show on youtube or i'd post a link.
  18. Interesting thread. Didn't realize this existed. https://www.revolico.com/autos/ How do you do the currency conversion?

  19. Nice "5th-wheel" mobile home. From that Meadville tribune Article - One of the novelty products produced by the Standard Trailer Co. was the "Dad's Puzzler." It was a classic sliding wooden block puzzle. "Dad's Puzzler" first appeared in 1909 and might have been the first sliding block puzzle with oblong pieces as well as squares. It was widely used as an advertising premium during the 1920s. Solving the puzzle usually took at least an hour, the object being to move the large square at the top to the bottom without lifting the nine wooden blocks up. Seems like a strange thing for a trailer company to make
  20. Looks like the hitch was a vertical pin type like used on the back of a tractor, not a ball hitch
