  1. Went and looked at the van. Supposedly 21,000 actual miles. Looked like it was rode hard & put away wet. For $17,000 it should have been mint, with all the little crap fixed or replaced. Didn't buy it. thanks for the advice and offers to help.
  2. I found this by answering another ad. It is for sale with no price yet. Part of an estate. I asked about the Harleys also. If anyone here is interested in either, I'll pass along the information when I get it.
  3. I have a 2000 Dodge Ram 1500 Conversion van with driver's side power seat. The motors are not available through Dodge & I can't find any NOS from a third party. Are there any shops left that could maybe rebuild mine?
  4. $28,000 for a body shell on a frame seems to me like he's on crack. Wouldn't be surprised if the engine & trans show up for sale separately. The 1 lousy photo of the interior seems to show a seat & that's it.
  5. Well, one side of it looks pretty good.
  6. You would Hudsy, but some people have no shame, like asking $82,000 for a car with tape on the plug wires & distributor cap.
  7. It's a Dodge conversion van I'm looking to buy. Would be nice to have someone give it a once over. I'm happy to compensate you for your time & travel.
  8. For $82,000, could you please put new plug wires WITHOUT blue tape on them and a new distributor cap WITHOUT masking tape on it. And while you're under the hood, how about getting rid of all the sh--ty wiring under there, and for cripe sakes, dust/wash the air cleaner. Little crap like that makes one wonder what other stuff is wrong that may not be real visible.
  9. Don't you dare put hubcaps on it! Ralleys & redlines for sure. ONLY go with hubcaps if you want it to look like an old man/grandpa car. Next thing you know, you'll be wantin' to put skirts on it, curb feelers, fog lights, and all kinds of other assorted detrimental crappy doodads.
  10. I have a set for my Dodge van that are new. I never put them on. Don't know if they would work on your car. Will sell cheap - $80 + S&H
  11. Have been away for a while because I couldn't log in. Now I see a red circle with a white triangle & I think an exclamation point in the triangle. It's new to me. What is it? What does it mean? Hope I'm not in some kind of penalty box.
  12. Put the interior back in (replace or recover what’s needed) and drive it just as it sits. Call it “Under restored”. A refreshing change from over restored, LS, low rider, hopper, over accessorized crap nowadays.
  13. Maybe it’s an invisible RV like Wonder Woman’s invisible plane.
  14. Is pot legal in Canada. I will assume it is and the seller is smokin’ a ton of it if he thinks that thing is worth almost 10 G’s.
  15. 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.
  16. And the moon is made of green cheese.
  17. Just finished a jigsaw puzzle “The First 100 Years, The American Automobile.” & the subject matter was auto museums from around the country. Here’s a list of the ones on the puzzle: Auburn Cord Duesenberg Museum Yankee Candle Car Museum Gilmore CCCA Museum National Automobile Museum Garlits Museum of Drag Racing Carillon Historical Park Canadian Automotive Museum Corvette Americana Hall of Fame Stanley Museum Owls Head Transportation Museum Boothbay Railway Village State Museum of Pennsylvania San Diego Automotive Museum South Carolina State Museum Edsel & Eleanor Ford House AACA Museum National Corvette Museum Henry Ford Museum Boyertown Museum of Historic Vehicles Bennington Museum Heritage Plantation of Sandwich Crawford Auto-Aviation Museum Deer Park Main Street Auto Museum Mount Washington Auto Road Automotive Hall of Fame Pronyne Motorsports Route 66 Museum Hemmings Motor News Studebaker National Museum Swigart Antique Auto Museum Canton Classic Car Museum S. ray Miller Antique Auto Museum
  18. 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.
  19. 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.
  20. Where did these 49-51's typically rust? I may be looking for/at a '49 coupe. Also, we hear a lot about flatheads and I think there's a certain cool factor about them, but what about this Ford 6? Are they good engines? Reliable? Easy to get parts?
