    Jon, I notice there is no Cadillac Johnson section...........which is appropriate, because to call that hopeless pile of trash a carburetor is a disservice to something that would actually function to control the air/fuel ratio..............like an old boot that you use to pour fuel into the intake manifold........😎

    Ed

    The Johnson carburetor on our 1913 Cadillac has provided us with many trouble free miles. All I can say is:

     

    My name is Raymond J. Johnson, Jr."

    "Now you can call me Ray, or you can call me J, or you can call me Johnny, or you can call me Sonny, or you can call me Junie, or you can call me Junior; now you can call me Ray J, or you can call me RJ, or you can call me RJJ, or you can call me RJJ Jr, but you doesn't hasta call me Johnson!"

  2. Old car, he read your post yesterday. Dave contacted the auction company. They promised to forward his contact information to the buyer of the scrap pile. Waiting for the buyer to contact him.

     

    I'm surprised he didn't recognize the frame in the pile. He can find a particular needle in a haystack. I seen him do it at Hershey many times. Especially when I walk past the item I'm looking for. 

     

    Appreciate your reply.

  3. Anyone know the whereabouts of the 1910 Kenmore air cooled 2 cylinder roadster that Mecum sold at their Phoenix Arizona March 14-16-2019 auction? 

     

    My friend Dave purchased the remains of a two cylinder water cooled Kenmore. He'd like to contact the current owner for some detailed photos. 

     

    Thought I'd try here prior to contacting Mecum. 

     

    Thanks in advance

  4. My friend Dave purchased the remains of a 1910-12 two cylinder water cooled Kenmore automobile. The car was manufactured in Chicago IL. It was available water or air cooled.

     

    He has the brass radiator, engine, transmission, oiler, and steering column.

     

    Looking for other missing parts especially a Kenmore chassis.

     

    Thanks

    just me- I read 24.5% bidders fee plus possible state sales tax- where did you see 17%????

     

    regarding the 68k sales price on ebay- ebay fees are only 125. so yes, cads are worth a bit more then 28k.....

    Mercer, go to the original posters auction link. Click on the Cadillac photo. Type  Cadillac  in the search box then click search. That will bring up lot 1081 the 1912 Cadillac. Click the photo again and scroll down to Lot details. Click on that.

     

    OR you can just read what I copied there.

    Absentee Bidding option closes two (2) hours before the auction begins unless bid is placed in person at our gallery. Click image, description, or LOT DETAIL button at right to see full lot details, including condition report and any additional images. Prices Realized include 17% Buyer's Premium.

     

    I forgot about the $125.00 flat fee for automobiles on eBay. Mostly sell parts there and it's at least 10% plus PayPal fees. I beg your forgiveness! Lol

    OK, go for it. Still think I win!

     

    🙂

     

    by the way- are brass T's now 5k ?

     

    ps didnt see this- but think one could be liable for up to 30% bidders fee and tax...........................ouch.

    Yes, I did notice the 17% buyers premium. So add taxes, shipping, and new wheels quite a bit of change. 

     

    The $50.00 fee from GM Heritage would confirm what body it left the factory with. Extra holes along the top frame rail could confirm a different original body style. 

     

    An original running estate 1912 Cadillac was sold on eBay recently by the son of the deceased. Car was in Michigan sold for $68k less eBay fees. You just never know. 

     

    1912 Cadillac first year self starter and electric lights. The body is Cadillac. 27" or 28" wheels could be had. One could put Kelsey 25" demountable detachable wheels with 35 x 5 tires and the car would look good. FWIW
