  1. The exterior doesn't look too bad but, ooh boy, that shot of the door opened is scary. Awfully nice of the seller to take it all apart for you ; /
  2. A couple more interior shots and engine shots would be nice but it does look good on the exterior. Appears to need new windshield glass unless thats just some serious dirt. Good starting price.
  3. Looking for a nice, mechanically sound Autobianchi Bianchina cabriolet. Thanks.
  4. Always liked these Airstream coupes. Great lines. Appears to be pretty complete. Wonder why he just had it sitting in his barn since 1959? One of those "Im gonna fix it up someday" situations that never happened.
  5. Very nice, but "mint" condition? I think of mint as meaning like it just drove from the showroom.
  6. I like these little Austins but I'm a little hesitant about owning because I believe the engines employ roller bearings for the main bearings which are expensive to replace. They went to babbet on the Bantam engines. This is a nice example, though.
  7. Actually looks pretty solid. Unfortunate paint on it. Is that a Datsun 1600 under the carport in the one picture? Now that, I'd like to have.
  8. Well, you can make an offer(lower than asking). Perhaps that's not paint but gold leaf.😁
  9. Looks like some kind of hazy filter was used either on the lens or in the computer to produce a dreamy recollection of the good ol' days.
  10. If it really is 1 of 4 in existence, that would command more money. It is a really sharp looking truck. Looks factory to me, Suchan. The door being opened on the one photo makes it look like the cab is at an odd angle.
  11. Looks like it would clean up nicely but the elephant in the room is why it was parked 30 years ago and never run since.
  12. Beautiful automobile but makes an SUV look like a compact car. Half of it would protrude from my garage.
  13. Ad says new wiring. Not every car needs to be restored for car show competition. Just get in her and drive it and have fun.
  14. With this car, you can enjoy driving without worrying about stones kicking up and car doors opening against yours. Meant to be enjoyed but not coddled😀😀
  15. "Were those engines really made from stamped metal? Story told to me many years ago." I thought that was the Crosleys, not the Bantams. But I could be wrong. I prefer the Bantam's predecessor, the American Austin, which had a nicer design. But if the guy's asking 10 bucks, I'm all in.
  16. A new gas tank was put in 10 years back and then they started it occasionally over those 10 years. Probably with the old gas? I'm not sure they were doing any favors by doing occasional idles in the garage which causes moisture accumulation in the exhaust system. Too bad they didn't take it out for a drive while they were going through the effort of starting it.
  17. OK, I give up. What's the function of the soup can strapped in the engine bay?
