I think John forgot to list the price. It's $24,900

Not mine, but I think someone on the site is into these trucks. https://minneapolis.craigslist.org/hnp/cto/d/1946-hudson-pickup/6433245314.html contact name: Ronald call call or text text: ☎ (715) 586-1798 1946 Hudson pickup condition: fair fuel: gas title status: clean transmission: other type: pickup QR Code Link to This Post RARE....No drivetrain,no grill,restorable,has rust but frame doable.have title.more pics upon request.

The '51 Mark VI for $8000 looks like a much better car for the money to me. 1951 Bentley fuel: gas title status: clean transmission: manual QR Code Link to This Post Year: 1951 Number of Cylinders: 6 Mileage: 72,000

Here it is - https://neworleans.craigslist.org/cto/d/1956-bentley-1-2/6409785001.html Here's another - https://monroe.craigslist.org/search/cta?max_auto_year=1958&min_auto_year=1942&nearbyArea=100&nearbyArea=134&nearbyArea=199&nearbyArea=206&nearbyArea=230&nearbyArea=283&nearbyArea=284&nearbyArea=31&nearbyArea=358&nearbyArea=359&nearbyArea=374&nearbyArea=375&nearbyArea=46&nearbyArea=629&nearbyArea=641&nearbyArea=642&nearbyArea=643&nearbyArea=644&query=Bentley&searchNearby=2

The question "Why do I want it/have an interest in it?" was asked. The answer is I saw it for sale on CL. Fairly decent description & photos, although not enough photos, and the asking price is $6500. I thought about buying to resell after making it roadworthy & having some fun driving it next spring & summer. I would not do the repairs myself. I thought I would ask a brother that has his own auto repair shop if he'd work on it for me at his shop rate. There appears to be far more negative input to this thread than positive & I think Matt's 2 posts made up my mind for me not to buy it. Besides, I'd probably have to listen to my brother bitch about the car & repairs all the while it was in his shop! Thanks to all that chimed in & I'm glad I asked here first before diving in. I didn't ask when I bought the Riley you see by my name, but that turned out quite well.

Matt, Don't hold back. Tell us how you really feel about Bentleys. Thanks. You answered ALL my Bentley questions. Glad I asked before diving in.

I'm considering buying a 1956 Bentley S1 that doesn't run. It had head work done & head reinstalled. It turns over, but won't fire & run. I know a lot depends on why it had head work. Considering it's a complete car, did run, & all parts are on the engine correctly, what am I getting myself into? Worst case of needing a rebuild of the engine, is it expensive? Can a good mechanic with no Bentley experience do it? Did Bentley use GM hrdramatics as transmissions back then? Pros & cons of owning a car like this once it's roadworthy? Collectibility?

This is piece of history Remarkably complete car , Will require full restoration. Engine turns freely and was running when a reputable Kruse auction mechanic acquired it. A window decal from a Finnish resort suggests this car was likely used by government officials in Europe before being shipped to the states. This was the car commissioned by Stalin based on his love for big luxury western cars of the era. A very interesting project - you will likely be the only one at the car show with a Soviet emblem.

Rolf, I have no clue as to what the engine is, but I believe we would all appreciate you posting photos of the cars in the background.

You're welcome.

Here's anther one I found - https://minneapolis.craigslist.org/ank/cto/d/1930-peerless-model-standard/6388454796.html 1930 Peerless Model A Standard Eight 5P Sedan Hayes Body One of 7 known to exist as per the "Peerless Registry" Straight Eight Continental engine 247cu.in 3 speed transmission, dual side mounts, trunk rack, clock in rearview mirror, original interior, correct original car. Car was in extended storage, in the past year gas tank replaced, original mechanical fuel pump purchased, repaired leaky oil pan and water jacket side plate. Tuned with new points, rotor etc, running and driving well. Understand this is a straight eight engine, a real going machine, not a Model A Ford or the like. Car has some rust, some dry rot and needs some TLC, but well worth the time or use as is and be special. Have tools, jack and other accessories. Car has Minnesota Collector plates and a clear title. Located in East Bethel, Mn. The car is a very rare example and is top of the line from 1930. It rivals Packard, Pierce Arrow, Lincoln and Cadillac of the day. I do not have the time to continue with the project and am open to an offer. You will not really see another anywhere!!! Please call to make an appointment as it is currently in storage.

Someone here may want it or know about it. 1912 Cadillac Model Thirty Open Car - $75000 (East Bethel) https://minneapolis.craigslist.org/ank/cto/d/1912-cadillac-model-thirty/6388226374.html Chassis # 39048 Engine # 64574 Correct, original, 4 owner car from new, never taken apart, never restored.

Car still has original carpet in the rear, original upholstery on the backs of both front and rear seats. All parts and accessories are original, it has many spares and features windshield from the factory and a exhaust whistle dated 1912.

I sent him an email. Let's see if he responds. I'm all over the car if it's a real deal.

Is it possible that this car & a wrecked or rusty SS were put together to form what you have now? Then someone decided to buy a made up Trim Tag so it looks legit.

Not mine. Seems like a decent price. https://minneapolis.craigslist.org/hnp/cto/d/1930-reo-flying-cloud/6366302101.html 1930 Reo fuel: gas title status: clean transmission: manual 1930 Reo Flying Cloud for restoration or hot rod.

I like the mossy green patina on the dash or what's left of it. How is he going to determine who is or isn't a true craftsman? Do you submit resume's including photos of your work? Seller may have been smoking some of the shrooms he found where this pile was sitting.

I helped with a sale about a year ago of a 1968 Biscayne L72 four speed with 750 actual miles. That sold for about $150,000, but that was an L72 Biscayne, not some crappy late 70's thunderchicken.

The story of how it has the low miles seems fishy. Tell me what 18 year old kid is going to convince his dad to sign for a loan on a car like that, then buy the car, & not drive the crap out of it. I worked in a car reconditioning shop many years ago & the dealers that sent their used cars to us to clean up would send a guy over sometimes to spin back odometers. I watched a couple of times, & I think I could make any of the mechanical odometers read 65 miles with a few tools & a little time.

There are a few spots around the Twin Cities that I can still get leaded racing gas at the pump. 104 Octane or so. It really smells sweet both going in the car & coming out the exhaust. The 91 octane ethanol free unleaded is fairly common here.

That's a rather snide remark. Maybe the guy needs a little direction like the others are giving him. Maybe he's new to the AACA. Maybe your snide remark just turned him off.

I sent PAJLAL a PM to see what he's done on the title. Here's what I asked: Hello, I'm on the AACA site where you posted about getting a title for the Mustang. I'm curious as to where you are at in the process, & I think the members on this site would be also. Can you keep us posted on your progress & what eventually becomes of the car? Thanks from everyone here, George Smolinski

It was restored many years ago and did run and drive when it was parked. It has not been run for a few years. This would make an awesome street rod or with a little work drive it as it is.

I am listing this for my parents. $14,900 or best offer Scott (507) 250-4855

Won't matter if it's a real Shelby if there's no proof of ownership, as in a real title, not one someone is peddling on here.
