  1. Seems like an honest small town guy. The car looks pretty good.
  2. Comparing this Olds to a Model T listed locally as well, both look nice and both w Maroon ext/amber uphostery for the near same listed price, the Olds is a heftier car and the external brakes must be better stoppers than the rear set only of the T.
  3. If I had the cash, garage space, and time I would consider this car.
  4. 45mph is sufficient for the rural roads around me. I believe there is a heater box visible. The lack of bumpers actually lends a period racer look.
  5. This is a really nice car for a decent asking price. https://hartford.craigslist.org/cto/d/manchester-1926-chrysler-model-70/7494506413.html Up for sale is this 1927 Chrysler Model 70 sedan. This car is a beautiful example of an early luxury sedan. Production of the Model 70 began in 1924 and its name was derived from the vehicle's top speed. It was bestowed with many never-before-seen engineering qualities that helped distinguish it from many other vehicles on the road at the time. The Model 70, dubbed the 'Chrysler Six' for its high-compression six-cylinder engine, had a seven-bearing crankshaft, the first replaceable oil filter, full pressure lubrication system, and a carburetor air cleaner. The period advertising for the Model 70 focused on two main technological breakthroughs which included the four-wheel hydraulic brakes and its 4.7:1 compression ratio.
  6. The perfect woman, show her a craigslist post of a neat car, bike or boat, and she opens the vault.
  7. Neat car. Would be fun to ride around with the top down. The tires may be old judging by the whitewall discoloration. Show him a pile of $100s totaling $16,000 and he might take it. Maybe the hose didn't reach far enough because it got hung up on the tire, that happens to me sometimes.
  8. The missing 1% are engine components and whatever was hung from the firewall. Not a bad car for the money if someone had an engine and parts kicking around.
  9. Looks like bad door seals on the right side allowed water over the years to do alot of damage. The floor may be rotted if the carpet and sill are that deteriorated.
  10. It was repainted inside and out, alot of parts were sprayed over. The bad pics hide alot of the bad detailing and overspray but looking closer at the door jam rubber cushions, firewall mounted parts, etc.
  11. If it was a video, one could watch her head turn left to right 3 or 4 times. The Plymouth is salvagable, a good deep cleaning could take it a long way.
  12. They had self-paving roads back in that era.
  13. I would go with the Ford for being a turn key driver with a good price and the style is pretty unique, although the Chevrolet is my favorite in style, but being stored for so long, it must need everything gone through. If the Buick were a 38 I would call it 2nd place.
  14. Yes add the Gulf graphics, the oil industry is in dire straights.
  15. An opposed twin. Is it a dry sump? I'm thinking that the tank is an oil tank. Looks like a neat car.
  16. I had a 66 4 door 6 cyl. Back around 1986. It got 15mpg on the highway. I paid $100 for it. It had a leaky fuel filler tube joint that I sealed with marine-tex and that's all I had to do to it. Not glamorous but a good dependable runner.
  17. The fabric looks like 60s matress covering, a deal killer for me. Otherwise, a nice car. If I was to buy a T, it would be a 2 door roadster. Would be a fun car to buzz around in.
  18. I like style. More than a Dodge of the same era. The oil leak could be from the rear main seal if the seller doesn't to disclose the worst case, or it could be from other places easier to get at, valve cover, etc.
