  1. These have good club support. It would depend on the back DMV fees...so easy to avoid! https://losangeles.craigslist.org/sfv/cto/d/van-nuys-1915-dodge-brothers-touring-car/7589549833.html This is an early Dodge Brothers Touring model, titled as a 1915 but someone more knowledgeable about these cars has suggested that it may be a first year 1914 model. Runs and drives well for a car that is over 100 years old. Very original and unmolested. Long term California car. Title has been lost. There are some back fees due to the DMV. Happy to discuss the best way to obtain new title with a serious buyer. I have some spare parts and an extra set of tires to go with the car. These are very robust early cars and were used by Teddy Roosevelt's Rough Riders. Trades considered. email: 2e5b88035dd73be0a738d220ffbcf713@sale.craigslist.org

  5. Very interesting and rare Chrysler ancestor. It definitely would be easy to find in the Home Depot parking lot!
  6. Maybe you've got a point. They are both big mistakes. The TR-7 was designed to be a modern Triumph, similar size and performance to previous Triumphs. Looking back now, it's hard to imagine what they should have produced. Maybe a joint venture with Honda like the 90's Rover, or a TR-8 with a better body design, or a Jensen Healy like car with better assembly quality. The TR-7 doesn't look any worse that some of the Lotus cars of the same period.
  7. Lots of pics of the messy engine compartment but none that show the interior!

  8. Just a quick search showed only one sale in the last 5 years. It was restored and went for $78K in 2018. Many on the forum know much more than I do, but my guess would be somewhere in the 20s.
  9. Seller says he has over $8,000 invested...hard to see where! https://orangecounty.craigslist.org/cto/d/mission-viejo-1933-pontiac-sedan/7588594466.html Complete car no major rust except surface rust. Total project this thing should be selling in the $8,000 range have more than that in it. Just need to get rid of it quick priced accordingly. email: e77c682decba3c84967422a9091c7640@sale.craigslist.org
  10. Looks very nice! The Old's 3 port head was a hot rod swap onto model T's and Chevys.
  11. Once again, I wonder what what precisely is meant by "runs". More pics in ad https://sandiego.craigslist.org/csd/cto/d/san-diego-1927-franklin/7588396914.html 1927 Franklin. Rust free. Runs. Lots of pictures.10,000 OBO possible trade email: 4bebb967bd1c3a96b8a16519a9371952@sale.craigslist.org
  12. Someone went to a lot of trouble to make this all wooden interior! Not much information in the ad and no answer to the question I have; "WHY?" https://slo.craigslist.org/cto/d/paso-robles-1931-chevrolet/7588250972.html Starts and runs well. Mostly original. Unique interior. 194 c.i.d. 6-cylinder. Clear Title email: f81f5deab48d31e38ab0376caec55904@sale.craigslist.org
  13. ! I remember reading a road test of one of these where they said even after a number of careful attempts, "shifting the transmission produced a sound like a cow giving birth to a bale of barbed wire". https://sfbay.craigslist.org/nby/cto/d/santa-rosa-1913-pugeot-bebe/7588202950.html email: 10c5d5f4c76038e5b286698776c4d1fa@sale.craigslist.org I’m the owner' friend of a rust-free unrestored 1913 Peugeot Bebe (It is a Bugatti-designed “Type BP1”). Between my godfather, my daughter, and myself, we have owned it for slightly less than 100 years.Sadly, we are not in a position to restore the vehicle to its well-deserved former glory, so it is our intention to offer it for sale. Perhaps the best way of describing the present condition and status of the Bebe is to do so via a brief historical summary.The “Bebe” originally came into my godfather’s repair garage located in downtown San Francisco in 1923 as just an “old car” to be rebuilt. My godfather obtained and rebuilt the engine and a local body shop took the balance of the vehicle for a repaint. The owner was unable, for whatever reason, to pay for the work and left the car in the two shops. After about two years, the body shop contacted my godfather and asked if he wanted to pay the balance due, otherwise they would scrap the body/chassis. So, for approximately $15, my godfather paid off the amount due. But when returned to him, the body shop had lost the top and the two upholstery cushions.The Bebe was eventually reassembled and rendered mobile again. It remained in my godfather’s garage until 1960 when he gave the Bebe to me, a 16- year-old at the time. I got it running again and eventually returned it to storage. Ultimately, I presented the vehicle to my daughter and we now have it sitting comfortably in storage in Southern California.The overall “unrestored” condition of the Bebe is superb, with absolutely no rust and only a minor dent in one of the front fenders. Prior to the early 1920’s, the original owner converted the headlights to beautiful brass electric units. Although not original, these lights are, in my opinion, far more attractive on the vehicle than the acetylene lights that were original equipment. To my knowledge, the only other component that is not “original” is the carburetor. That was replaced with a Scheubler during the 1923 rebuild. Although I don’t know the vehicle’s serial number off-hand, I am convinced the “Bebe” is a 1913, since it has a two-speed transmission. To my understanding, only the prototype year of 1912 and the 1913 production year had two-speeds and after that year Peugeot changed to a three-speed transmission.I have the original windshield. The wheels are original with English motorcycle tires currently installed. Despite having owned the vintage vehicle through three generations, we are simply not in a position to give the Peugeot the proper respect and attention it deserves. Although slightly incomplete in a couple of details, this is a vehicle in absolutely excellent condition, for its remarkable age. To assist in your evaluation of the vehicle I have photos of my Peugeot along with this letter that will support the status of its condition.The Bebe has been in protected storage for a number of years so although dated, they very accurately depict the details and condition of the vehicle as it is todayWhat is you thoughts on price, we have heard absurdly low suggestions so far. What is a reasonable range, depending on your inspection and research? email:
  14. Thanks Steve I always appreciate your fact filled analysis! As you say, it was a very competitive market segment and between 1931 and 1932, five thousand banks failed. Unemployment was on it's way to a record 24.9%. Modern safety nets didn't exist. It's amazing anybody was looking for an impressive new car.
  15. Similar to the Marmon in market position. I agree that the Dodge has some superior features. I do think the seller will have difficulty achieving this price, but I certainly could be wrong.
  16. Impressive! Not many Dodge 8s out there. Seems like this would be a little like a Marmon Roosevelt. Manufactured briefly, not a big following today, so probably not going to sell for this price, no matter how nice it is.
  17. I usually think of Plymouth as going for less than Model A money, but this one looks pretty special. 32 has the last year for the 4 cylinder and it was redesigned with all the features you always wished they had (65 hp with the "redhead") I wish the ad had more info and better pictures! https://phoenix.craigslist.org/wvl/cto/d/prescott-valley-1932-plymouth-sport/7582873020.html 1932 plymouth sport roadster extremely rare car older restoration , very few made and left. 6 month production run mid 32.

  18. Looks like fun! More pics in ad...reply through website https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/1940-ford-deluxe-convertible-coupe.1284352/ Coming out of recent long term ownership. A very original 40 convertible coupe. Southern car and rust free. Everything is working as it should and the car is ready for its next caretaker. Manual transmission with good clutch.

  19. I don't remember the exact fix for the problem but I do remember is was very inexpensive. Another case where the bean counters caused huge problems.
  20. Since I posted a Pinto today, I couldn't resist this Cimarron. I actually would like to have one of these, just as a conversation starter, but not at twenty grand! my father in law traded his '78 Coupe Deville for an '82 Cimarron. We took a road trip together and one of the suit cases had to be held on someone's lap. Not Cadillac's finest moment. https://www.hemmings.com/classifieds/cars-for-sale/cadillac/cimarron/2637261.html ONLY 7560 ORIGINAL MILES AND IN IMMACULATE ORIGINAL CONDITION THROUGHOUT! SIMPLY LIKE GOING BACK IN TIME WITH PERIOD CORRECT DEALER INSTALLED "CARRIAGE TOP" AND "CONTINENTAL SPARE"! NEVER SEEN SALT OR RAIN AND AS A MIDWEST CAR ALL THE LEATHER SEALS AND PLASTICS ARE IN EXCEPTIONAL ALMOST AS NEW CONDITION! WE HAVE SERVICED THE CAR INSTALLING NEW TIRES AND EXHAUST SYSTEM ALONG WITH FLUID CHECKS AND A RECENT BATTERY. ORIGINAL OWNER UNTIL 2014 WHEN IT WAS BOUGHT BY A LOCAL COLLECTOR WHO RECENTLY SOLD THE CAR TO US. COMPLETE WITH ORIGINAL WINDOW STICKER AND OWNERS MANUALS AND EVERYTHING INCLUDING THE POWER ANTENNA IS FULLY OPERATIONAL. UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY TO BUY WHAT MAY BE THE LOWEST MILEAGE CIMARRON ON THE PLANET!

WONDERFUL ADDITION TO ANY 1980s CONTEMPORARY COLLECTION!
  21. Hard to think about $9,500 '78 Pintos but it seems to be the world we live in. It does look like a nice example.
