  1. Makes you wonder what's missing. Is the last picture "before" or "after"? https://lasvegas.craigslist.org/cto/d/irvine-1919-ford-model-speedster/7665038328.html 1919 Ford Model T Speedster not running, yet "Calls Only" will not respond to text or email (949) 422-6213
  2. Doesn't seem to seem to be a desirable modification! https://slo.craigslist.org/cto/d/paso-robles-1931-chevrolet/7661716291.html (805) 440-9853
  3. At first I thought "maybe if they painted the fenders black"...then I realized it didn't help! How about orange wheels with white walls?
  4. "Still has that "Toyota scent/smell" inside!" Probably leaking propane.
  5. No interior pictures! If the inside is in similar conditions to the outside, this would be a nice car at a good price. https://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/cto/d/fremont-1939-lasalle/7666823031.html 1939 LaSalle matching numbers rebuilt engine V8 runs great, body and paint great. $18,000 obo Vin# 229-5715 Garaged kept Call Dennis @ (510) 796-nine two 3 one

  7. You really can see things in the UK that don't happen here and this is a great example. I remember a mostly Ferrari event at Laguna Seca about 20 years ago, but these days they are all locked away in air conditioned vaults. The UK also has an unbelievable pre-war hill climb series that draws hundreds of cars.
  8. I think the Cobra crowd has that category covered, although they have a very firm grip on which ones are "real" and which are "air cars". Unfortunately, if it weren't for the "replicas" or cars with complicated provenance many historic racing fields would be mighty slim.
  9. Looks like a sound example of a great car, but the price seems very high....(probably a little high even if it could run and drive). https://sfbay.craigslist.org/sby/cto/d/san-jose-1938-cadillac-lasalle-coupe/7662867324.html 1938 Cadillac LaSalle coupe 15000 obo needs full restoration complete car original engine and transmission engine is not locked up Zero cancer only surface rust (408) 401-7169
  10. I'm not aware of a set service life on any catalytic converter! The whole concept of a chemical catalyst is it's not consumed in the reaction. Maybe if it were made by Lucas....
  11. In 1976 all the automakers were struggling to meet the new smog regulations. MG put this rather charming clock-work box in the middle of the speedometer cable which claims to track the useful life of the catalytic converter. I don't know of any other automaker who even considered this!
  12. I know there is an active club in Northern California, so if the price is right there will be some interest. I don't know where people come up with these silly prices! There's currently a Model T coupe, nice but nothing special, restored sometime years ago, offered on CL for $35,000. The only way it could be worth that much is if it was previously owned by Steve McQueen or Elvis! https://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/cto/d/hayward-1926-ford-model-coupe/7661811385.html
  13. More pictures would be good...also you should put it on the Chrysler buy/sell forum. Looks very nice and fairly priced.
  14. I'll try it. I probably better knock the corners off the chisel... aluminum is soft and although it will no doubt need a lot of filler anyway, I don't need scratches too. Thanks
  15. I need to remove lots of old paint from my '51 Simca 8. It's aluminum...what do you think is the best way? Thanks!
  16. If you want a car that has good parts support and an active club, MG is right in there with Model As and Ts.
  17. I liked it too! '33 has a high point in looks for many cars, this one among them. Wrong engine but not "ruined" with a small block or something. Sold by a flipper that knows nothing, maybe he'd make a decent deal....
  18. I think these cars were generally good reliable transportation, they just had that easily corrected design flaw.
  19. Siata made some very interesting and valuable cars in the 50's
  20. https://tampa.craigslist.org/psc/cto/d/lacoochee-1919-dodge-convertible/7659413724.html Looks like fun, but not $20K
  21. OK, wrong engine, but to doesn't appear too "ruined". Did REO use Continental? Were there any bad looking cars in 1933? It doesn't seem so! https://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/cto/d/stockton-1933-reo-3w-coupe-rumble-seat/7660940388.html Up for sell is a modified 1933 Reo 3 window coupe - engineswapped out for a GM 250 6 cylinder with auto transmission. Condition of engine and tranny unknown - car appears to have last been on the road 2005. Car is solid with some surface rustbit no cancer that I have found. It has a rumble seat that I have been unable to open - believe something is blocking the deck lid. The hood is currently off the car although the photos show it on.Please note that there is no pink for the car - bill of sell only. Car was purchased out of an estate where the prior owner had died - no perwork could be found. Total REO production, all models wasaround 3400 - fairly rare car even if modified. email: 4b233dd1d6fe363fb1c0d9a8092deada@sale.craigslist.org
  22. The Maxwell engine was revised by Chrysler in 1927 with better cooling of the exhaust ports. I've never seen one, but my sources say there was a "red head" option that had a higher compression ratio and a much better combustion chamber with more modern turbulent geometry. I drive a car with 2 wheel brakes...it's fine at the speeds it's capable of, you just need to pay attention! If you swap in that Jeep motor, you will suddenly become aware of the limitations of the chassis.
