Restorer32

The price is very negotiable. The $49k was what the owner thought it was worth. I tried to get him to be more realistic. All offers considered. Car is nearly 100 % complete.

Keeping the price low because we are picking up a car in Houston area and hate to drive the 1500 miles from PA towing an empty enclosed trailer

Thank you Steve.

Leaving 11/3. Enclosed 28 ft trailer, experienced restorer/ fully insured transporter $1/mile. Message if interested.

Had a similar problem with an MGB years ago. Turned out one of the rear shocks was a bit loose on the frame. Drove me nuts until I figured it out.

If this were 1960 would the comments be any different ?

As I've said many times "Pity the Philistine who knows the price of everything but the value of nothing".

I'm convinced. I'm sending the '33 Packard Conv 100% complete "project car" I have been trying to sell to the scrap yard. At least I'll get a couple hundred for it.

I have a very rare Packard "Adonis at the Well" mascot. Perfect original condition. Also known as the Packard "Sliding Boy". It could be yours for the give away price of $10500.00 including shipping. I know it's worth much more but wife says it has to go. She needs space in the cabinet for her very valuable collection of Hummel figures and Beanie Babies.

Dad advertised his tire business at the local drive in movie theater. Consequently he had a tall stack of free passes which I helped myself to quite often. One night a thick fog rolled in making it impossible to see the screen. The theater owner came on the intercom and said because of the thick fog he would refund the ticket price to anyone who wanted to leave. Strangely almost no one left.

They use the textbook "Archaeology by Trowell and Era".

Many years ago I spent a Summer doing archaeology at the Biblical city of Ashdod, Israel. Yea, the same area being fought over now. As an antique automobile restorer I do consider myself an "Industrial Archaeologist".

Maybe my degree in Archaeology will actually come in handy.

Heading to Houston area first week in Dec. with an empty enclosed trailer if anyone needs a car hauled in that direction. Experienced resto shop with virtually new trailer. Anyone interested ?

Jaws of Life strike again.

We restored a '36 GMC Rescue Truck and it had the same Olds engine.

Get the metal to the right temp and the torch burning just right and lead spreads like butter, even on a vertical surface.

Figure about a year and maybe $800 to get a court ordered title in Pa.

He helped my Brother get a court ordered title for a 1949 Triumph convertible. Took time and money but we appreciate what he did for us

We still paddle lead in the few instances where it is the best choice. Getting harder and harder to find the correct alloy stick lead.

Never heard of it and we are only 12-15 miles from Hanover.

Restoring/replicating the Barrie Bell was a monumental task. All they had to start with was a body and a grill shell. No drive train, no frame, no interior, no fenders, no hood.

Who owns the '17 Bell we restored now? We lost track of it.

Be happy you do not have a 1958 Cadillac Brougham. We will be repairing one that suffered an engine fire that destroyed the dash and associated wiring. New harness? $ 12,000. Don't take a chance. Replace your harness.

Yea, my Son showed me a pic of the wreck (which I will not post) that someone sent him. The car is definitely repairable. Happily the driver and passengers will be OK but what a shame.
