Maybe it’s an invisible RV like Wonder Woman’s invisible plane.

1971 Impala. - Project

There are shops such as Tank Renew that will clean, check for leaks and seal a tank. I had it done to a ‘55 Nomad of mine with no issues. Also, if it was mine, I’d probably just buy a new tank and sending unit. May be fewer issues in the long run. -

Here is Prussian Baroness, Gisela Josephine von Krieger with her 1936 Mercedes-Benz 540 K Roadster and the Hindenburg, the famous Zeppelin, above. The Baroness lived in the United States, but died in Europe in 1989. However, the car remained in the United States, stored in a garage in Greenwich, Connecticut, forgotten for 40 years. One of the 25 built in 1936 and 1937, the 540 K was purchased for 28,000 Reichmarks in 1936 (app. 115,000 Euros today). It sold for $11,700,000.00 in 2012, making it the most expensive pre-war vehicle ever sold at an auction at the time.

Has anyone here seen this car in person? Know any more about it. This 1932 E-1 Cord Experimental Limousine was driven only 779 miles when the stock market crash ended the plans for putting the big limo into production. So, it was dismantled. Paul Bryant saw the body in a barn near Plato Center, Ill. It had no engine, no fenders, and no grille shell. Paul searched for and found the missing parts and painstakingly reassembled this magnificent auto.

I emailed the seller & told him I live nearby. I'd like to come & look it over. Haven't heard back. -
1937 Lincoln K, not mine.
George Smolinski replied to Xander Wildeisen's topic in "Not Mine" Automobiles For Sale
"This cache might be such an opportunity for someone. I don't think it's worth anywhere near $75,000" Looking at the amount of work involved to sort it, clean it up, re-box it, and haul it all away, how about $7500? "I think there are enough Lincoln Ks running around that spare parts will always be in demand" Interesting statement considering there have been several/numerous mentions regarding the older vehicles falling out of favor and lowering of prices. I understand Ray is also looking for someone to buy out his stock so he can retire, so perhaps there's an opportunity there for someone who isn't me. Considering the pile this stuff is in, it better be someone young. They'd need the years to sort, catalog, and combine this lot and Ray's. Count me out, but IF I did buy it, you can have your pick of any 2 mufflers just for helping me move the stuff to my shop.😁 -
1937 Lincoln K, not mine.

I bought a '62 Impala SS complete car to part out about 10 years ago. It sat in a chicken coop for 10-15 years. there was NO part or spot on the exterior (including chrome & stainless) that was not etched from the poop or the fumes. -
The falsehoods of 30 years ago continue to happen in today's collector car world. I give you restamped blocks to appear "numbers matching," frames being swapped (watch any TV car show & you'll see this happen(, and the vehicle being sold without that information available to the buyer, clones being sold as something they are not (think GTO, etc.), car auctions advertising and telling potential buyers that cars are correct when they're not. I don't think you can get away from it, even buying from a private party or dealer (no offense to any dealers here). I think you have to do a lot of research and homework on your own, or bring someone with to a sale who has great knowledge of the year, make, & model you're interested in.
