  1. Nothing will be changed on the car, I do think it is the real deal. And so does the new owner. the original paper work even stated the engine number on it. And we all no at that time engine numbers did not have anything to do with vin numbers. The seller said they wanted to give the headlights a frenched in look, but to change the fenders was to much work. So a few cars had the rings painted. I think it looks good. If I remember correct the dip stick was on the opposite side of the block. Maybe a early 265 thing?(it had a few things that others did not) I can dig out some pictures, it was a really neat car. The original floor carpets were in good shape, but the thin layer of backing material was dry rotted from age. So when you would drive the car with the cowl vent open, the fine dust from the bottom of the the carpet would fly around and get in your eyes, and it burned. the 265 duel fours had a great sound as you ran first out, before it shifted into second. They start to get drifty in the front at about 80 mph, Fun car, power windows, power top, hard top. I am no NCRS guy, but it was a cool car.
  2. Maybe one of you guys can answer this question. We bought this 1956 Corvette years ago, and sold it. It was number 101, very low miles, loaded with all options, and had the MSO paper work from new. It had a bunch of carry over 1955 parts on the car. Very nice car. The story I got from the seller (The second owner), was that a few cars were produced with painted headlight rings from the factory. And that this was one of them. Is there any truth to this?
  3. Jim has a couple of these cars.http://www.jimsvintageautomotive.com/
  4. That is Awesome! Here is a shot of what we got, and just had another 4 inches today. Tonight is -15 to -20 below with wind chill. Your van would not even get off our road, but that does look like fun. Take that old Mopar out in the parking lot, and get it sliding.
  5. No matter how bad something is damaged, if there is a desire to fix it. It can be done.
  6. This one made me laugh, I never have heard of some of these pros before. https://pullman.craigslist.org/cto/5937716132.html
  7. I think you might be skirting a fine line with what you are saying. Even the terms on this forum, ask for your info to contact you if need be. I would not want to use someone else's name, only to find out later you picked the wrong name to hide behind.
  8. Here is a link to google with my name on it. You will see pictures that get pulled up from this site posted by others. And it comes up under my name, just because I was posting on the topic. If you then go under "web" you will see anything about me, even a speeding ticket from about 10 years ago in OR. Anything you put on the internet is floating around out there. Type in your own name. https://www.google.com/search?q=xander+wildeisen&rlz=1C1MSIM_enUS572US573&biw=1680&bih=920&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwifmu_fzZnRAhVR-2MKHXR8C_oQ_AUICCgB
  9. I do have to smile at the thought of " terms and conditions" on the internet.
  10. I do have to smile at the thought of "privacy settings" on the internet.
  11. Not pouring salt on anything here, just asking a question. The face book page under the "about" section has links to the AACA Museums face book page. Then when you go to the AACA Museum face book page under the "about" section. There is no link to the AACA Car club web site. Why?

  13. I bet that is why some magazines are mailed in a brown paper wrapper. Your post cracked me up, you know that stuff goes on. Too funny.
  14. With out knowing the grit of the paper, I am not going to do that until I can get some more info.
  15. We have some of those same little pests here. I was bolting on the roll pan on my truck in the driveway this summer, only to look over and see this little guy looking at me. These can not kill you, but it does grab your attention.
  16. That is what I thought you meant. Where I got lost is, I thought it was a left at Wildwood.
  17. This goes back to what I said on a older post. If all of the street rods/hot rods/customs were never built, and were still in the barns and fields. Do you really think that they would have all been restored by now? Every part of the industry helps drive the other. There would not be some reproduction stuff made, if it was not for the demand on the street rod side.
  18. The Terraplane blues great song, only the blues could be used with the cars.
