SOLD- 1951 international harvester 3/4 ton $1700
Cured replied to NC-car-guy's topic in Automobiles and Parts - Buy/Sell
A '51 International L120 was the first vehicle I drove. Was 6 years old. If you didn't double clutch you didn't shift. This one is pretty far gone. -
I know you using a generic description in your search for rings but might I suggest finding a more precise measurement than 1/26th of an inch. The commonly used one thousandths of an inch are over 38 times more accurate.

This car is the same model and year as my Grandmother's last car. She started driving Model T's in the 1920s. Horses were Grandad's thing. He left the driving and vehicle maintenance to Grandma. There was only one car in Grandma's opinion and that was a FORD. Her last Ford sedans were a 49, 53, 59, and the 65. I drove the '65 in college after Grandma quit driving. It wasn't really much of a car but it did get a load of us across the Rockies to see Rod Stewart in Vancouver in March of '72. On smooth tires.

You sure have the McLaughlin looking good Old Tech. I hope you put it up on here and tell the whole story sometime soon. Regards, Ed C.

1930 Reo Coupe Restored - $26,500 - (Charlotte, NC)
Cured replied to Reynard's topic in "Not Mine" Automobiles For Sale
Looks like a great time capsule at a pretty good discount. -
Thanks Thomas. I plan to go through your part of the country in April. If it works out I will call then.

Thanks Maddie. Right up my alley but too far away. Good luck selling.
-
Thanks AK. I’ve got a car to look at in Wisconsin first.

My recollection is that my best buddies Dad had a '59 Plymouth station wagon that carried the Suburban name. It was a big V-8 wagon.

Thanks Jay. That is what I am looking for. I do have one to look at in Wisconsin that's closer. Won't do anything until we get this record book winter over with. Merry Christmas!

Thanks. I have found a 1918 touring to look at in the spring.

Very nice car. If I can come there I will call. Ed

Please excuse the long absence. I will try to get the engine # posted ASAP.

Bump. This car could be made drivable (I think).

Good story and a nice car Don. I will give you a call one of these days. Still working at 71 but might have a chance to do this project. First car in our family (short term} was a 1918 McLaughlin. Probably an E35. My grandad who was born in 1882 never really adapted to the motor age. There is a story of him driving 40 miles to town with the McLaughlin's radiator froze up. That might have had something to do with him getting rid of it. On the other hand my grandmother afterwards got behind the wheel of every model T that she could. Told me many stories of her adventures and challenges on the road. Her Fords in my time were a '53, 59, and a '65 Fairlane. Until her last breath a Ford was the only car. But I still would like a McLaughlin-Buick.

1927 Franklin four door for sale 2000
Cured replied to M&M's topic in "Not Mine" Automobiles For Sale
The frame on this car was probably wood so the body, drive train and running gear are all that is left. I’ve got a mid 20’s Essex coupe body and frame that was grafted onto a Franklin running gear and power train. The wooden frame must have not aged very well.
