I recently bought a original 1937 Buick . The car came from PA., is not rusty but has plenty of road grime, hard old grease and oil buildup. I want to clean it up real sanitary. The dry ice blasting looks great but I've gotten one price locally at $2200 -2500 $. Has anyone else used it?? Thank you mike

Charles what is the stated model on the engine and what is the bore and stroke/?

Yes same car 2 owners back

David, Have you tried to start the motor yet// ??? I wouldnt get all hung up on the questions you have posted/ Those answers are most likely lost to time. Keep in mind what the purpose of the build was..... to demonstrate and prove the friction drive and unique differential. I would clean it up, reassemble in its current state and get it runnable. Its a unique piece , show it off as is!! The car is more valuable and unique as is then with new paint and lipstick! Mike West

If someone wants a famous songwriters car , I've got Pat Ballard's Franklin. His bug song was MrSandman performed by the Chordettes! ( I think his notoriety was a flash the pan ) ..... smile

Years ago at the Franklin Trek the New England Boys arrived with Frank Netetoms car backfiring , loos of power ect . I reached down and touched the coil .it was on fire.... I poured some cold Budweiser on it and magically the coil worked again. Off the the NAPA he went and got a cheap universal 6 colt coil and problem was fixed.

I have a friend in Bozeman that will pay a visit if he connects with the seller.

Morgan cars. Great little cars.

Explain to me whats RARE about a 31 Py Coupe?

All models and years considered. The display will be the THREE Ps. Packard, Pierce, Peerless. Mike 585 738 1541 serious buyer.

I could sell that car to two different old boy collectors. The workmanship looks good and it's on a great platform. The car has to be appreciated for its workmanship, not the novel.

10k too much.... the tide has turned on the price of a lot of common cars.

What I was a kid I didn't have a hone for wheel cylinders or the master cyl. I used a piece of wood dowel , cut a slit in it and used a piece very fine emery cloth sliding the slit. It worked good.

My friend has the bolts but no clips

Id like to see a picture of the gas tank if he has one/

The car has been advertised quite a bit already, not much to say about it anymore except that if he lowers the price another 5000 it will find a new home.

sold!

Ed when does te WWhiteforum come on line??

Don The drive you see here has spider gears no different than any differential. If you want to make up a chain drive assembley get your self a model T rear axle or any other early differential and cut down the tubes.

NO

The car rebuilt in any fashion will be a loosing proposition. Restored original or in a "Street Rod" configuration will not make it a worthy project. It looks like it was a real good original and someone has already given it a haircut for parts to build a roadster or touring car. Look at whats missing ... all parts that could be substituted to a more desirable model. JUST MY OPINION.....

I drove over to see this Chevrolet today. Its a good honest car, nice trim, glass, super straight.The seller is motivated as the property is being sold. The car has had one repaint years ago (most likely50 years ago) or more. The interior presents well, the headliner is intact, door panels nice, seats all in tact. Under the hood looks good all in tact. If I wasnt fixing w different cars right now, I would of bought it.

I know the seller of this car, a super honest good car guy. He is selling some other vehicles he has owned decades. Give Bob a call.

$250,000 wouldn't fix it. Not even close.

NY is very user friendly to get ownership papers without any backup paperwork. I had a friend from Canada that retained a post office box in NY to establish residency , and was able to licence in his name a car that he couldnt get done at home. It took some time but was done not to painful and legal.
