  1. Thought I would update this post.

    I spent the winter on and off the phone with a gentleman from Iowa.   He saw my post we exchanged photos he liked it and we agreed on a price and arrived at a date to pick it up. Over the course of the many conversations I learned he had a 1931 Chev Coupe and probably would have preferred a 1931 Chevrolet Roadster.  I said I would keep my eyes open for one and certainly did not mind if he were to buy  a 1931 instead of my 1930.  As luck would have it I found one a week before he was to pick up mine and I gave him the contact information.  Bottom line I kept my word (worth more than money) and he bought the 1931. I'm glad that he got the one he was really looking for.

     

    So now my 1930 Roadster is for sale again.  My garage is always too crowded and the 1930 Roadster gets limited play time...warm sunny rides.  So the price is $25,000 or best offer

  2. I sold Big Blue to my Neighbor 7 years ago He took it to Florida and his Neighbor bought it then this Spring I heard it went to Australia.. That car sees the world as I bought it from a family in Colorado.  Like to keep track of it. I never should have sold it...T Black

  3. Larry not 100% sure on the drums I'll measure them I think they were from the heavier rear end as was on the 1923 model 49...but you might note there is a complete 268 starter generator there with the distributor that i thinks fits your master....... You might want to walk on the far side with this little 1926 chevy car turned truck...i always need the room...tom

  4. Yes...same neighbor....I saw Big Blue sold this spring no upgrades ...for $26000......my neighbor tried to buy it back but lost the bid....hence he has no need for the parts without the prospect of getting the car back.  Everyone that has owned it wishes they had it back.  But as usual I'm out of space....

  5. Another guy came yesterday bought it with $100 down with balance on car pickup. He  brought the parts home and was coming for the car today. He came back today with the all parts and said his wife said no.  I gave him his $100 back.  I tweaked the timing and brakes and drove it about a mile on our private road today the engine ran strong...fun little project for somebody.  ps if you decide it is for you clear this big expense with your significant other first.

     

    The car comes all the unused/installed sedan parts with its original 26 engine block( Engine # is also the vin# for the vehicle) and another 28 block and head. Their is 1928 radiator and shroud. Also a 1928 transmission and u joint  Comes with a useable pressure plate and a set of 4 disk wheels and rims that i think are for a 29 or 30 chevrolet.

     

    If I keep on tweaking it I will have to keep it and put it on the road...but at this point I prefer selling it for the space

  6. I bought this parts car to go with my other 1926 Truck.  I eventual cut down the car turned the parts car into a running farmers truck.  It Runs Starts Stops ...lights all work and the horn works needs roof refininishing and glass.  The windshield is fine and it does crank up and down.  Truck comes with all the parts that were part of the sedan,  also the engine in the truck is a 1928. I have the 1928 radiator and it will go with the truck    $2000 takes it all...I need the garage space. As was and as is photos attached

  7. My Neighbor wants to sell his 1923 Buick engine and all other Buick parts he has.  Aside from the engine I saw 2 starter generators missing covers an extra cam, brake parts 2 axles with hubs.  And several buckets of smalls. The engine is free but missing a couple of valve cages. He wants $250 for everything, but you have to come and pick up the stuff.  If anyone is interested I'll go take pictures.

  8. Brian ...good talking to you on the phone...hopefully the lead I gave you to my former  21/22 parts cache is good for your buddy.  Since you were looking 21/22 you might want to reconsider on the 23...its yours if you want it but if not we will offer it again

  9. I have a less than complete 1923 engine that belongs to my neighbor.  It is missing the smaller valve cages, the fan and starter generator and side sheet metal.  The engine turns over the upper cylinder block seems to be crack free.  The water pump the water pump gear  and the engine gears are there, so are the lifters and pushrods.  The  3 gears will change out as a set to a 21 or 22 buick, desirable as they are all metal not fiber.

     

    Priced to sell $125   and you pick up.

  10. Maybe the uptick was due to the introduction of the free wheeling transmission (32 on chevies)  they got rid of it in 33.  I doubt prohibition actually refrained anyone from drinking...Per the cruise speed 40 was nice on my 22 buick roadster...35 was comfortable on my 4 cylinder buicks
