It really looks like someone just brushed some green paint on the head, neatly around the bolts, and called the engine rebuilt. Otherwise, it wouldn't make much sense to rebuild it just to sell, with the exception of someone trying to flip a non-runner and did the minimum engine work to get it to run.

We always had a station wagon when I was a kid. The first I remember was a 50s Chevrolet that really crusty. A few more came and went. The best, a 60s Buick wagon, had the skylight running across the hood. My Mother let me drive it up our street when I was about 11 years old. Not sure that would happen nowadays but it was the first real car I drove, others being my wooden go-karts. After a while it sat in the garage for some time, replaced by a Pinto. My father sold it for only a few hundred bucks one night. I was surprised back then for how little he let it go for. The Pinto didnt prove itself well and was given to me as my first car and my Mother got a big Ford wagon with the woodgrain sides. My sister drove it into a tree and from then on it was 80s Japanese econoboxes.

1948 Buick roadmaster sedan - $28,000 Very nice

That is the dumbest line. One out of five cars on the road nowadays are white and someone probably chose white to better hide the body repair imperfections. -
Looks great!

NHTSA Approves Manufacture of Low-Volume Turn-Key Replica Cars
supercub replied to f.f.jones's topic in General Discussion
I found this replica on the road, pretty neat. I would love to see a street legal production 20s Indy dirt track racer sold. -
Good find, it looks amazing. Hopefully you can get it running.

I always thought these were cool. In high school I first laid eyes one. I thought it was a good alternative to my Chevelle with a V8 that always was on E. If I remember they were 326ci with aluminum head or block?

Minnesota Barn Find Collection - $350,000
supercub replied to George Smolinski's topic in "Not Mine" Automobiles For Sale
Looks like a couple of interesting cars, I'm wondering what the vertical finned one is that just shows the tail end. I can say that his isn't hitting any high numbers IQ wise himself. These cars have sat for years unattended and must have rusty undercarriages, mice infested interiors, rotted radiators, rusty fuel tanks, dried rubber bits and ring-set cylinder bores. Good luck with paperwork, it was probably all stored in the collector's house and tossed. -

I hit a spark plug in the road, the tire was near new. It really blew, like an explosion. I've had a few near new tires ruined by road debris. The old worn out ones never blow.

Date Code for Firestone Whitewalls 6.70-15
supercub replied to supercub's topic in General Discussion
Been searching for some new tires online. I think I want a radial tire that has the old look and is 28.6" diameter as a 6.70-15 is spec'd. The radials that I have perform well but look too modern and I believe make the car harder to steer at almost a dead stop. The bias tires may be easier to steer in this situation but won't handle and brake as well as radials. I could end up driving home from work in the rain and need handling and braking as the radials perform on my hilly twisty road. I like the pie-crust design of the bias ply tires and can live with or without the whitewalls. Alot of considerations. -
You probably didn't pay much for them back then in comparison to today's prices, so you could probably sell them as rollers for what you paid. A tire shop may not mount them if they are over 5 or 6 years old, depending on the state that you live. They may look fine as they sit but once inflated, cracks could appear. Stick you fingernail into the tread and compare to a newer tire, see if the rubber is much harder. Hard rubber doesnt stick to the road well, in cornering and braking.
