  1. My cousin was looking at a used Taurus right around the time Carfax started. The title history bounced around through several states, and when it got to Jersey the miles took a nosedive and Carfax flagged it.
  2. FWIW, any Chrysler product flathead six with a 23"-long head will interchange with the engine in your Plymouth. There were manifold, oil pan, and other minor changes over the years, but those can be swapped from your original engine. The engine in my '52 Plymouth is from a '57, and was powering a 1939 Dodge before I bought it.
  3. Knocking back the mileage was common practice in the used car industry for decades, and wasn't made illegal until the early 1970's. The only way I would accept that a car is truly low mileage is if it were accompanied by a stack of original documentation showing a slow, orderly mileage progression over the years. Odometers are still easy to alter, even on modern vehicles. There are people out there who will, for a fee, make your electronic odometer say any mileage you'd like, and change the computer memory to match as well.
  4. Please don't take offense, but the gauges are '52-54 (white background with black lettering) and the Suburban scripts are from '52 (the '51's are block letters).
  5. Might not be real rare, or even considered by some to be a production car, but in the late 1950's or thereabouts I saw a King Midget being driven down my street in Brooklyn. Sounded like a lawnmower and the guy driving it was almost as big as the car.
  6. Will consider reasonable offers! Don't know where the pictures went or if they'll return. Can re-post if necessary.
  7. This manual has an amazing amount of information crammed into its 128 pages. Includes domestic and foreign tune-up and alignment specs, troubleshooting hints, and more. Has data for 1975-79 models. $12.00 postpaid in USA. Thanks for looking! Harold
  8. I've had this over 30 years. The body of the starter is stamped 1107355 with a date code 6E19 (May 19, 1966). The nose does not have the same mounting holes as others I've seen, so it may have been rebuilt to fit another car at some point. Check the pictures for more details. $65.00 picked-up in Freehold or Ocean township in New Jersey. Add $18.00 for USPS Priority flat-rate shipping in the USA. Harold
  9. Here's a set of 4 1960-62 Chrysler radio knobs that I pulled off a radio decades ago. Part number 1971851 on the inside of the larger knobs. These are nice shiny knobs with slight wear from everyday use. Some black paint is rubbed-off the inside of the knobs. See photos for details. $25.00 postpaid in USA.

  11. It has been on my shelf several years and it's pretty obvious that I'm not going to use it. I was told the radio works well and was removed for a sound system upgrade. I can't test it so I'm selling as-is. The part number is XW1F-18C870-AF. $20.00 picked-up in or near Freehold, NJ 07728. If you need shipping, let me know your zip code so I can figure out a price.

  13. That would be WKBW (later WWKB) at 1520 on the AM dial. It usually came in loud and clear most nights in the NYC area.
  14. These magazines deserve a new home...preferably yours! Make an offer.
