Dandy Dave Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Saw this posted. eBay. Australia.... 1914 Buick Veteran Vintage CAR Restoration Project | eBayLooks like it is lacking the correct Delco starter, generator, ignition system, but has lots of spare engine parts and other stuff. It is a bit of a boat ride from here. Dandy Dave! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Shaw Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 I believe it is actually a 1913 Buick. Note that there are no gear teeth on the flywheel & the shifter in the door, indicates it is a 1913 model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Roger_Roy Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 I have a bit of interest in the car but its been posted in various forums so I've asked the owner to pop in here with all the relevant numbers so we can see exactly what it is he has without chasing him all over the place .

Dandy Dave Posted May 22, 2013 Author Share Posted May 22, 2013 (edited) Frame and engine numbers would really help pin it down. Looks like two frames and a number of engines and parts. Some of it may well be 1913 Model 24 parts as Mark suggests. 1914 was the first year for the Delco Starter units and these were installed as standard equipment. Equiped correctly a 1914 B-24 would have one of these units. The engine under the bench in the first ebay photo clearly shows teeth in the flywheel. Dandy Dave!

Guest Roger_Roy Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 I received this reply from the owner via Ebay "chassis tags non existent. Engine number ex 1683. I found I was comparing export vehicles with local production. Export models wee different that is why the Americans say this is 1913 as we got their run out stuff. We did not get electrics till 1915 they were in America in their 14 model. Have fun" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dandy Dave Posted May 24, 2013 Author Share Posted May 24, 2013 It sounds a lot like the stuff Mclaughlins were built from. It also makes sense being an export model. Dandy Dave! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
