  1. There are hundreds of NOS 3-1/16 pistons for Ford flatheads, both flat topped (early) and domed (later). They are $60 per set of 8.
  2. Asking $7500 but offers will be considered.
  3. Looking for offers. Tell me what it's worth!!!
  4. I recently asked you about something for my 1930 LaSalle. You said you were too busy with your boat. Here is the reply I got from you: "If you are still looking for the part next fall, try me again. Sorry I can’t be of more help at this time. Wayne"
  5. Scam Update!!! I took the check to the bank it was drawn on and they said it was a fraudulent check but written on a real account. They confiscated the bogus check. They said that the account had unknowingly been compromised and that the bank would take appropriate action. So even though I suffered no loss, a woman in a different state may have taken a real loss if the perpetrators had written other checks against her account. I glad to know I may have saved another person a financial loss.
  6. I received this scam email regarding a car I have posted for sale. Beware!!! I am sorry for the delay, I received a text that my husband fall from work and he was been rush to the hospital, after several test, they discovered he has a cancer and I was out of town due to this. I would like to inform you that the check was mailed out by my assistance but I discovered that he has overpaid you. You have nothing to worry about, I can trust you with this, when you receive the payment, go ahead and deposit it in your account and when it clears, you will take out the amount we agreed on and I will tell you how to handle the rest balance while I make arrangements for the pickup, am willing to add additional $50 for your time, while the balance would be send to the shipping company, Thanks and God bless.

  7. You and AJ continue to shame me for my lack of progress on the limo.
  8. Attempted Scam??? Over the last several days I have gotten a series of emails from someone who said they wanted to buy the 1925 Cadillac and that they would send a bank cashiers check right away. Something about the offer didn't seem quite right. When I requested certain information from this buyer the emails stopped. Am I allowed to post this person's name and email on the forum?
  9. Axial_Flow Yes, the dual air cleaners are not factory original but a lot of things could have happened to it in 99 years. Maybe somebody thought it would help or maybe it would just be "cool". Why wait to someday own a Cadillac V8. You can own this one now! This would be a great family project if you have kids. It would introduce a younger generation to pre-war cars and to treasure hunting parts..
  10. Unfortunately, you are correct in that the nickel era cars are not valued very highly. The interest in the whole range of pre-war cars seems to be waning and consequently the prices. Young people don't relate to pre-war cars and most of these cars are not compatible with modern traffic. My cars are 1920's and 1930's models and all were in poor to horrible condition when I got them. My hobby has been less about resurrecting derelict cars and more about looking for missing parts. The treasure hunt was the biggest part of the fun when that meant going to swap meets and meeting fellow enthusiast. Less so now with few swap meets with 1920's parts. I find many parts that I need on the internet but it's not with the same pleasure.
  11. cjmarzoli, All offers will be considered. The owner is in his 80's and not getting any younger.
  12. 1912Staver, For some people driving or showing something that they had little to do with is the fun part. For others the creating and building is the fun part.
  13. For Sale: 1925 Cadillac 7 Passenger Touring This 1925 Cadillac 7 passenger touring has been stored in a shed for about 50 years. The car was partially disassembled during an amateur restoration, some work was done, and then the car was stored in the shed. The owner passed away about 35 years ago and the son who is now in his 80’s has asked me to help him sell the car. There is a clear title in the current owner’s name. The 1925 Cadillac is very straight and solid with no rust. The engine, transmission, and rear end have not ever been removed as far as I can tell. The engine turns freely with a hand crank and has compression. The wood is solid and some of it was replaced. The doors don’t sag and close solidly. There is a set of reproduced wooden top bows along with most of the original top bows. There are boxes of the parts that were removed and most of the small stuff seems to be there. There are some items missing including the seats, gauges, and clock. The speedometer is there. Shown are photos of the parts found in the boxes and the car. I have found that the missing gauges, headlight lenses, etc. are currently (02/01/2024) available on eBay and probably other places. Please contact me for further information or questions. Inspection by appointment in Carson California 90810. Send questions or offers to stevepugh@verizon.net with subject line of "1925 Cadillac".
  14. It was taken over by his daughter Kelly Ryan. I bought some stuff from them a few weeks ago and she was very helpful and totally on top on everything. 304-952-9815 and 720-299-0254
  15. I knew about this car for years and saw it from time to time but, no, I didn't buy it. The guy that did finally buy it started a restoration and then fell upon hard times and sold it as a project but I don't know where it is now.
  16. I need the inner part of the light switch for a 1930 LaSalle as pictured below or a complete light switch. I really don't need a complete switch, just the bushing that goes over the rod but if that is the only way to get a working switch I might have to buy the whole thing again. I bought a used one at Hershey but it is too worn to work properly. Thank you.
