  1. This is from Facebook Market place:

    "This is a very nice 1938 Plymouth business coupe. The older restoration is holding up very well, Car has a great shine. Interior is just fair as you can see in the pictures. The frame and body are excellent. Sold with a title old registrations and a bill of sale. Car has not been started in the past eight years, but it does turn over by hand. It will need brake work and fuel system cleaned out, and of course a battery.  car can be delivered in Connecticut. I will not waste your time, please show some real interest."

  2. Does anyone from the Scranton Region AACA know about this car? I reached out to them and the only reply I got was from a former member who didn't remember the car. The consigner's website says, "WAS THE FEATURED SHOW CAR IN THE 29TH ANNUAL SCRANTON REGION AACA" so I would think someone in that region would remember the car. I know when a car like this is at my region's show it gets noticed and remembered. What does anyone think a realistic price is on a car like this? Haggerty values in high but is that a valid price structure? Thanks for anyone's input.

  3. Its not for me. I know the mileage on my car is legit because I knew the (deceased) original owner. I was asked and quite honestly I understand why because one lesson I learned in life is how people lie. I did vehicle inspections for years and often previewed the eBay or Craigslist ad. Its amazing how dishonest people are. 

  4. I am replacing the original exhaust on my 1980 Cadillac. Yes, that's right, the original! I noticed the heat shield on the catalytic convertor is hanging. I foolishly pulled on it but it isn't as loose as I thought and didn't come off. I will be securing it with steel wire for now but I want to replace it. Seems the GM pancake converters are no where to be found. How would this affect AACA judging? Would an aftermarket cat be acceptable, or removal of the heat shield?   

  5. I know this post is 6 years old but am looking for Chrysler clips. Do you think your neighbor still has any?

    Thanks, Abe. I did go to a neighbor whose collection of older vehicles is quite large. I found several types of clips on International, Chev and Chrysler products, but they are all a liitle different. I also checked with George Moir who supplies many old Ford products, but doesn't have clips. I checked the websites of several anitque Ford suppliers in the US with no luck, but will have to phone them. I also need to check with more Lincoln parts suppliers. I am hopeful that Daddio will find a few clips. I may try making a few if I can't locate some.
