1932 Lincoln KA 505 $35,000
Steve_Mack_CT replied to John Bloom's topic in "Not Mine" Automobiles For Sale
Agree with the faults. Mechanical condition would be key to understand. On the plus side It's an usable affordable Full Classic - a nice big attractive car in one of the best years - and a bit more unusual than a lot of Classics in that price range. Might be a nice car for someone not looking for a high point car. -
Bitten by the British car bug! Triumph TR6
Steve_Mack_CT replied to Ed Luddy's topic in General Discussion
Awesome!! We owned this TR-6 for 5 or 6 years in the late 80s and loved it!! One of the most fun to drive cars I ever owned. Well documented and supported cars with a great club network. Join the Vintage Triumph Register and maybe more important, 6 Pack which is a TR-6 club. If you want to annoy any neighbors fit an ANSA exhaust system, looks great but very loud! 😁 😁 -
1932 Lincoln KA 505 $35,000

Up and running - nice to see what one hopes is a recent pic at a show.. Paint on rims oddly looks ancient to me so I wonder about tires. A six window I could get into! -
I think it's interesting if the celeb was a car person like Gable, Cooper or Kerry, James Garner who I am sure you know influenced the Firebirds chosen for the show. Clark Gable stands out to me because he was such a car guy. Someone needs to put a book together on his automotive life... I know a couple other R107 SL owner's whose cars had been celeb owned. Seems like they all had one for nearly a 20 year stretch. One was discovered by reviewing papers that came with the car and was not a feature of the sale. Might have been Heather Locklear? Other than a few jokes (use your imagination) that's about all it added up to. I would imagine many higher end collector cars pass through well known people all the time but it doesn't impact price. The universe of celebs I might pay a premium for is pretty small.

Cleaned up nice John!

What is the story behind your “handle”?
Steve_Mack_CT replied to victorialynn2's topic in General Discussion
5 years on, same handle, an old friend goes to the rainbow bridge and we have a new buddy!! She is even a 2x Hershey veteran! 👍😁🐕❤️ -
Funny color is subjective. The green doesn't trip my trigger like Targa or mulsanne blue or steel cities grey but matching # 4 speed is nice since so many of these are running replacement engines. Looks like a very nice C3. Wide price range on these 68 - 72 cars, convertibles do bring around a 20% or better premium. Had a 71 visibility is much better top down.

1946 Deluxe Clipper 7,900

Agree with Andrew on balance of the Clipper in a 4 door. Thos seems like a very good opportunity for someone. -
FS Not Mine Packard coupe 1935? PA $2500
Steve_Mack_CT replied to 55chevy's topic in "Not Mine" Automobiles For Sale
Oddly I saw a post on a Packard fb page last night. Guy purchased a Packard 6 engine and was looking for a car to put it in... Ton O' work here but great bodystyle even on a 115. -
That's unfortunate. I know they were on the website not too long ago. Buried, but available. Maybe existing stock ran out. Was pleased with the set we bought for the 39 120. A very high quality repro.

AJ I get it. A set of 5 rims for 40 in decent shape will run you around $100+ per easy at Hershey or through PAC classifieds. Or you stumble on a set if your lucky, for a "song". I do know 39 & 40 are different and you don't want "close enough" for that car. If you can live with high quality repro the caps and rings are still available at Hirsch. It will look really cool if you make that change. Subject car, IMO is probably a bit high price wise. Academic for what you want to do but a lot of work to be done there. If ypu found a 40 Su 8 sedan in sililar shape for $4 - 5k stuff it up at Tom's and have spare mechanicals.. Or stick on the blingy wheels and sell it for a profit to the bomb guys. 😁

AJ for the record - assuming your looking to retire the WWW & chrome wires - not swapping! 😁😁 Have you hit David Flack or Dave Mitchell yet?
