1939 Crosley, not mine.
Leif in Calif replied to Xander Wildeisen's topic in "Not Mine" Automobiles For Sale
$2,250. how much would that be per pound? -
Youtube is great, but there are often examples of "doing it the hard way". I had to replace the coils on my grand daughter's Lexus SUV. It is a V6 with a traverse engine. The front 3 cylinders are exposed but the back three are under the intake manifold. Many Youtubes showed the complicated process of removing the manifold and all the attached sensors, but there was one by a female mechanic who just reached behind. She said you need small hands to do it that way. My hands are not small but I can endure discomfort, and I was able to do it that way. If there are several Youtubes on a given subject, be sure to check them all!

1957 Ford Thunderbird - $8,500
Leif in Calif replied to 1957Birdman's topic in "Not Mine" Automobiles For Sale
Looks like it could be a fair deal. One thing about these beautiful "birds": because they have a certain glamour, you don't generally see them driven with bad paint or the poor by rat rod look. I think that's a good thing! -
Looks like a nice example. It seems like American go for more in Europe since they are exotic imports. (this one is in the Netherlands). A lot more text in the ad but only one Picture! https://www.prewarcar.com/515944-1912-overland-model-61-touring The Overland featured here is a lovely 1912 Model 61T Touring. The Model 61 was Overland’s flagship model and the largest Brass-Era Overland up to that time, powered by a 270 cubic inch(4.4 Liter) 45 horsepower L-head four cylinder. This is one of just seven examples known to survive and it has lovingly cared for and thoughtfully upgraded for safe and reliable touring. First restored in the 1960s, it was acquired by the well-known Brass Era enthusiasts Wendell “Ohlly” and Marilyn Ohlendorf, who had seen and admired it on a Glidden Tour. It was then sold in 1979 to Don and Nancy Sonicsen of Illinois, who continued to enjoy the Overland on tours. This Overland really shines on the road. It has been lovingly maintained both mechanically and externally and is ready for serious touring or just enjoying it with family and friends.

1931 Oldsmobile coupe, not mine.

As a SAAB aficionado, I'm not aware that it was ever banned. I did not know so many older cars had it! (Why I love this forum). I can tell you that SAAB had it because they were originally 2-strokes (easier to start in cold weather) and as such, the intake charge travels through the crank case, so there needs to be oil in the gas. If you went down a long hill with the throttle closed, you were also cutting of the lubrication to the engine, so they had the freewheel feature to allow the engine to not be spinning at high revs with the throttle closed. After they switched to the Ford V4, they kept it because....well, it was just how they did it. The SAAB model 99 was the first car without it.

My 2018 Chev Volt plug in hybrid had a problem yesterday. It's been a wonderful car 'till now (98,000) miles but being a PHEV, it's very complex and since we are are hoping it's a warranty covered issue, we had to take it to the dealer. They have only one technician trained on the vehicle (almost 160,000 produced) and he's pretty booked up. All of which made wonder about motorists in the early brass ear. Many years ago, I knew an old man who once owned a black smith shop. He met his wife in 1910, when she took her car to him to have the brakes fixed, was unable to stop and smashed his work bench. I wonder how many black smiths were actually competent to work on cars, especially given that many manufacturers had novel solutions and nothing was standard. I know my little town had 86 automobiles in 1909. No gas stations for a decade or more after that. Did they worry about getting gas the way today's EV owners worry about finding a charger? Here they got it from the pharmacy because they also sold other chemicals. I would imagine if you set off into the hinterlands, it could be a problem.

Yes! Huge changes starting about 1850 and accelerating there after. Obviously still going on today and unstoppable. George Washington's army could not move faster than the one belonging to Julius Caesar. Then came steam, then internal combustion. 2 things I'm sure of: 1.) in 50 years, it won't be either of those two 2.) I don't need to worry about it.

1931 Oldsmobile coupe, not mine.

They are very nice looing cars but Fallon NV.... Home to a Naval aviation bombing range so you know it's a ways off the beaten path. It will take some effort to go see... -
I always find it hard to believe they that don't know if the engine is stuck. https://losangeles.craigslist.org/lac/cto/d/moro-1938-buick-convertible-project/7691556149.html CAR IS LOCATED IN MORO OREGON I bought this car awhile ago out of an estate, thinking I would build a stock-looking street rod out of it, but I have since found a different car I want more. This is a very straight and solid project that was brought to the Northwest from Arizona and is NOT RUSTY. It still has the original chassis that has been re-painted and a restoration started a couple decades ago. All the trim seems to be intact as well as the spare tire covers. The top irons also look to be complete. I have never attempted to start the car or turn it over, it is a total project, but I don't think you could find a better car to start with. also comes with an extra re-chromed grille. I was not the one to dis-assemble the car in the first place, nor am I a Buick expert in any way. It is a 1938 Special Convertible with a rumble seat, and the optional dual side-mount spares. It has the straight 8 engine and a 3 speed manual $22,000 Please feel free to call me at 5o3 7o3 2eight7 four but NO TEXTS !!!!!!!!
