As somebody who as spent way too much time taking the ferry back and forth to MV I'm hopeful for you that late Sept is a sweet spot. My experience is that MV is either so crowded you can't move (Summer) or so empty you are scared (Winter).

Since this was my car as a kid (except mine was Liberty Blue) I know a little about them. Somebody smarter than me explain the 20 watchers on this auction? I could see a market at 15-20k. Not 45k. https://www.ebay.com/itm/1969-Pontiac-GTO-there-/203446886047 his is an original 4 speed car with 64k original miles that has been stored for years with History as follows Protect Plate Original bill of sale Original dealer delivery checklist Build sheet most likely still in car Service records 2 owner car Not driven since 80’s Engine runs but has bearing knock This car is a Rare true numbers matching 4 Speed car with great documentation.

In honor of my friend Walt, who egged me on to spend a small fortune on 30 odd copies of Omnia magazine I'll post a cool picture that I've never seen before. The Salon issues are the ones to have and I think I got 3 or 4 in the batch. But all issues probably have 1/2 dozen cool pictures that I've never seen before.

The more I look at this, the more I like it. I'm surprised it hasn't generated more comments, although it just reinforces in me that I like stuff that has a market of about 3 people.

Like me, my kid always showed some interest in these and they are dirt cheap relative to other "cool" things. I never pulled the trigger because I figured I was going to be in for a shock when I finally climbed in to one. Of course, the other car he showed interest in was the AMX which probably would be a better idea, but 2 to 3 times the money for equivalent condition.

Too bad they don't give us the tread width. Modern equivalent sizes never look right on the cars. They are always shorter and wider to my eyes.

A front view.

Picture was taken in 1917. Otherwise I know nothing about it.

I have always found these weirdly fascinating. Please don't hold it against me. https://www.ebay.com/itm/333961850580 856 287 9502 call or text. see photo slide show below..hard to find a saab in this condition.. only 2400 made in 1974. great car in great shape.. one family owned car always garage kept. 39233 original miles. the car has been repainted in original factory color. looks great.. the car is in excellent shape.. no rot what so ever only minor surface rust. mechanical the car is tight and right start and runs and drives. great.. the clutch may need to be adjusted.. it may just be operator error . sometimes pops out a gear. i can not get the headlights to open.. again it could be operator error. All accessories work as they should (lights, blinkers, wipers, radio etc. ) mufflers have been removed. as you can imagine it is loud. the rear window shocks are bad and need to be replace.. drive side rug has some wear.. 4 cylinder V4 Ford engine with a 4 speed manual transmission.

Nice to see you are back Jim. I remember the Cord over by the Stadium at Hershey. This was maybe 10 years ago?

Sandy, Ed Minnie is not to far from you. He can give you solid advice. I’ll ask him to reach out to you.

When Men were Men and engines were BIG.

Comedian Douglas McClean stuck in the water. Car?

Seems like 75% of the ones that survived are the orange. As opposed to all the GM mid sizes from the same era which are all green.

The water travels down between hood and the fender and is supposed to drain out, but sometimes drains in to the front of the hood.

Go to the 1:09 mark.

I wonder if that is what killed on my white pines that I was nurturing by the road.

I agree with both of you that it looks better with the top down. But it also loses some of its uniqueness that you see with the top up.

Other than a few rain outs, the weather in NE has been stunning the last month. 55-60 degrees, zero humidity, blue skies. I would take that 365 days a year.

The noise is from the transmission gears.

I thought we had discussed this somewhere. Did you advise the seller to sully it on eBay? btw, I typically batted out of my league in HS.

Collect and scan all paperwork and old pictures. Period photos and documents are gold to many collectors .

First, do not touch anything. Do not try to start it or turn it over. Projects in general are very hard to sell. However, your dad's car has a number of things going for it that make it desirable to idiots like us. 1. Honest original and complete condition. 2. Dry storage for many years. 3. One owner for 50 or more years 4. A desirable body style. The Buick guys are active and there is definitely someone who will cherish this car. My advice is to put together some decent pictures, if you can get it out of the garage try to do so. Put wheel rollers under if necessary. Lots and lots of pictures. You will need to get clear title if you don't have one as the market goes to zero without.

We talked about this somewhere else. Very very cool. As someone who likes to have 1 of 1 stuff, this floats my boat even if it isn't the most attractive car in the world. https://www.ebay.com/itm/164860847048 1929 Cadillac Victoria Convertible Coupe Style 3885 custom built Fleetwood V8 .
