I’d get a better translator program then.

Did he buy the car sight unseen? If he inspected it before purchase, wouldn’t he have asked what it was? Perhaps the former owner knows. If a removable flexible tube was inserted to the cab end, it may make an effective pee tube.

Some methods of sending or receiving payment seem safer than others. The only really safe method is buying or selling in person, preferably at a swap meet with lots of people around. With ANY method there is always the danger of a scammer or moron lurking.

Thank you for posting the link I could not.

Nice looking body under all the dirt. The highest horsepower 2CV I can find is 29hp. Even if you could quadruple the hp, that’s only 116. It’s a DOG!!! If someone offered $35,000 for it, then that’s further proof that some people have more money than brains.

There are shops that perform driveshaft work. I would start by finding one or more of them and start there.

There is a restored roadster on the web for $24,900, I believe. It’s a more desirable model. You can not buy & restore the posted car for that price. NADA book for it at Low Retail (Low Retail Value This vehicle would be in mechanically functional condition, needing only minor reconditioning. The exterior paint, trim and interior would show normal wear, needing only minor reconditioning. May also be a deteriorated restoration or a very poor amateur restoration. Most usable ‘as-is’. This column does not represent a ‘parts car’ or a non-running vehicle), is $5825. I’d say $4-5000 is about right for this car.

It will be for sale for a long time at the posted price.

The car in question isn’t a coupe. It’s a 2 door sedan. And it is a 1934. Car in photo is a 4 door, but one can see the similarities between it & the subject car.

That brought the red flags up for me right away.

Looks like a Godfather car.

This ad is 28 days old. I think the vehicles for sale here have been ongoing since last summer. Tell ya anything?

Love the '40 Packard. Can't help with your garage space issue, sorry.

My 5K guess was a complete shot in the dark since I know little about this era of cars other than they are very pretty.

I want almost a hundred grand for my car, so I'll give you 3 crappy photos & 7 of it sitting in my garage because I'm too lazy to pull it outside to take decent photos. Either that or I can't start/drive it due to EXTREME lack of use over the last 15 years. What will it cost to make it roadworthy, another $5K or so?

Damn nice project car. If I was in the area, I couldn't get the money out of my pocket fast enough. It would be a really nice driver.

The idea was to pay homage to the glorious Cadillac V16 luxury cars of the 1930s, when the top US brands were competing to produce the most powerful and exotic engines possible. For Cadillac, it was the ultra-smooth V16, a sophisticated overhead-valve design that put the GM luxury division not only ahead of the domestic competition but in the company of the greatest automakers of Europe. The Pick of the Day is a 1930 Cadillac 4330 Imperial Sedan V16 in remarkably well-preserved condition for an octogenarian, especially one with such a muscular powerplant under its hood. The Orange, Connecticut, dealer advertising the big sedan on ClassicCars.com goes into detail about the model history and the car’s amazingly original condition. (Note that the seller spells V-16 with a hyphen, while it’s the Journal’s style to refer to V-configuration engines without hyphens, as in V8 or V16.) “The Cadillac V-16 has gone down in history as one of the greatest cars of all time,” the seller says in the ad. “Despite the onset of the Great Depression, American car manufacturers were still in a race to see who could create the biggest and most outrageous car with the most exotic engine. “Duesenberg created their big double-overhead-cam straight eight, Stutz created their double- and single-overhead-cam eight cylinder, and Cadillac answered with its overhead-valve V-16. With sixteen cylinders, 452 cubic inches and 185 horsepower, the V-16 competed not only with its U.S. competitors, but with the ultra-refined European cars such as Mercedes and Isotta Fraschini.” This Cadillac is No.9 of 50 Imperial sedans produced, and one of the few still extant, the seller says. The car’s seemingly time-warp condition is mainly the result of long-term single ownership and being carefully looked after during its entire eight decades. “Its largely well-preserved original condition is due not only to it being from California, but it was kept in its original owner’s possession well into the 1950s,” the seller says in the ad. “The interior is remarkable with no tears or moth damage to the original wool broadcloth. The ornate woodwork is in wonderful condition and the rugs all appear to be well-preserved and original. “The headliner is equally well-preserved including its original hat holders, as is the original lamb’s wool over rug. The dash features all its correct instrumentation and includes a very nice addition of a 1950s-era radio showing proof of its long original service and well-looked-after existence. The paint shows well and does show patina, but is very fitting for such a nice original car.” The V16 engine runs well, the transmission shifts properly and the Cadillac is both drivable and presentable, the seller adds. “Being such a good original car, all of its numbers and components on this car are correct and original to this car,” the ad concludes. The Depression was in full swing by 1930, so it was doubly audacious of Cadillac to produce such exclusive and expensive machines. For collectors of “full classic” pre-war luxury cars, it’s hard to beat such a splendid and original showpiece. It could be a shoe-in for the preservation class at the Pebble Beach concours d’Elegance. The asking price is $150,000 for what seems to be a very special Cadillac powered by an iconic engine.

1966 Impala SS hubcaps with an Olds emblem stuck in them. Compare to the '66 Impala SS hubcap pictured below. The other image is a '59 Olds hubcap. Nice looking car. Too bad it's screwed up with the pos Chevy engine & trans.

Nothing turns me off more than seeing an "original" car with a freaking chrome aftermarket air cleaner.

We’ll let it slide just this one time.😁

He has a group called Classic Cars For Sale on FB.

I think the engine color is incorrect. Shouldn’t it be gray?

Does anyone know or have background on a Larry Brown in Quincy, IL? He has some pretty nice cars for sale on FB and collectorcars.fotki.com Also wondering what you think about his pricing. He’s had some for sale for quite a while - too high?

Don’t know if it’s still available or what shipping would be.
