Guest 1956Packard Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Selling as a lot - I will not separate. A large collection of Ford passenger car and truck parts manuals / catalogues and various other service related books. Obtained from a dealership many years ago. Ranges from 1949 through 70's. I no longer collect Ford cars so it’s time to pass them on. For example: 1949 to 1961 Passenger Car Parts Catalogue 1964 Passenger Car Parts Catalogue 1948-1961 Truck Parts Catalogue 1970 Truck Parts Catalogue As you know these contain exploded views of all the vehicles and all part numbers. Invaluable in determining interchanges. (Forget Hollander). All come in their original Ford expanding 3 ring hard cover books. Again all for one price - and for a lot less than I paid for them. A complete listing of books available to serious inquiries.$400.Note: I am in Canada - a couple of hours out of Detroit. I will certainly ship them (at your cost) but I suspect the cost would be high?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lebowski Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 I'm very interested. How many manuals are there altogether? How many boxes would it take (and how much would it cost) to ship all of them to Kentucky zip code 40010? The weight limit is 70 pounds each for the US Postal Service. Please email me at Studebaker50Champ@bellsouth.net or call me at 502-767-7773. Thanks...........Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 1956Packard Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Gosh. There's 20 plus parts manuals here. Many are 4 to 6 inches thick. A 6 inch version weighs about 15 pounds. Based on that I think you're looking at many boxes.(road trip??) Over all there are well over 40 larger pieces of literature and a bunch of thin ones.I am in London, Ontario.

Lebowski Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 I'll have to pass due to the high cost of shipping. Thanks anyway.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarlLaFong Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 If you can get them into the US, they can be shipped USPS book rate which is pretty reasonable. I shipped enough magazines to fill two 4 drawer file cabinets from CA to the east coast for about 300 bucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 1956Packard Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Thanks for the info John.When I priced them, I tried to reduce it from what I thought they were worth to and took a whack off for shipping.Also, thought a few adventurous ones may make the drive. I am a couple of hours out of Detroit (hint).Geoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your magazines can't. I have mailed large boxes of magazines myself via media but found out recently, that because they have ads in them they can not be sent media. Doesn't matter if they are old magazines with old ads. If they catch you they can charge you whatever higher postal rate they want and if they feel it was done knowingly can even fine you if they are in a bad mood. I have actually got mixed answers from postal clerks but a postmaster gave the ruling of no. They also have the right to open and inspect media mail anywhere along the route if they want.

Guest 1956Packard Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 Last bump.Please someone get them before something drastic happens...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCHinson Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 I would love to have them. I have absolutely no need for them. I can't justify the cost. I can't justify the shipping expense.Two suggestions,1st, consider donation to the AACA Library and Research Center. You could probably find somebody who is going to Hershey who could transport them for free.2nd, Ebay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
