  1. Each state has a different procedure for handling cars without titles. You need to find an Illinois attorney or title expert who can give you precise advice on your specific situation. This may sound harsh, but the Illinois DMV doesn't care about your problem. You'll have to pay someone to help solve getting a title in Illinois. Or maybe tell you can't get a title from Illinois.
  2. Thanks for the info. I'll keep David's name in my files, but for now my problem has been resolved.
  3. I like it. If it didn't have an automatic, this Corvair would be sharing my garage alongside my two Franklins.
  4. If the car runs well, that is a really great price. Thank goodness I just bought a car and don't have any more room for another. Very cute.
  5. While you're waiting for the swap meet to open, you could alway take a short trip to the Train Depot park and visit the 50-foot tall tribute to the 1983 movie "A Christmas Story". The world's tallest leg lamp.
  6. Bring A Trailer. Be prepared for questions like, "Has the IMS bearing been replaced?", "What are the paint readings?", or some inane comment about Al Capone. I'll be following the auction with interest.
  7. Thanks for sharing pictures. The blue AMX is the best I've seen, especially the interior. Most of the AMX interiors I've seen have been very blah. This one is really nice.
  8. What year is the Eldorado? Apologies. I must have had too many drinks at the bar. I thought the car was a Caddie, but after downloading some pics it's actually a circa-1974 Pontiac Grand Prix. In my defense, about half of the captions about the car call it a Cadillac. Whatever, it's the dominant presence in the bar. And the chicken-fried steak is still the best you can get. Here's some photos.
  9. You know, of course, that the AACA Forum charges by the word for posting any technical information requests. For heaven's sake, when asking a question, be as verbose as possible. The more information you give, the better answer you'll get.
  10. From my 1930 Timken Tapered Roller Bearing Catalog: Packard Custom 8, 6-40, 6-45. Front Wheel Inner Outer cone 3383 2687 cup 3320 2620 The catalog has no listing for the rear wheel. Hope this helps.
  11. Is the shifter mounted to the left of the center console? Seems weird.
  12. May I make a recommendation? If youse guys are going to repaint the car, Orange Metallic is not a good choice for a first time painter. Start with a non-metallic color that will be much easier to spray and repair when you make mistakes. Sounds like an exciting project.
  13. I say this reluctantly, but the Buck Owens' Crystal Palace serves the best chicken-fried steak I've ever had. Even in Texas. Worth a special trip. The bar has a full-sized Cadillac El Dorado convertible hanging against the back wall.
  14. alsfarms and trimacar, Thanks for holding this conversation in public. You are sharing valuable information with the rest of us beginners.
  15. I would advise against buying parts from eBay unless you can be sure they are OEM. I purchased front suspension parts for my 1998 Toyota Tacoma from eBay. They lasted less than one year. I then replaced them with discount OEM Toyota and MOOG parts from US, non-eBay vendors. The parts have lasted over 3 years and show absolutely no wear. The problem with eBay is that you don't know who manufactured the parts or what the quality control was. I will buy OEM parts from eBay, but I've read there's also a problem with counterfeiting. You usually get what you pay for. Now, I ignore the real cheap prices.
