Auto Literature Collection


Recommended Posts

Selling off my collection of antique auto and truck literature. Ford, GM, MoPAR, some foreign makes, IH, White trucks, early Automobile Quarterly books, plus a lot of MOTORS, Motor Age, and Chilton professional repair manuals. Consists of shop manuals, parts books, owners manuals and more. The MOTORS manuals include the early editions that cover 1935 and up cars and truck (one box is shown, there are 5 or six boxes more). I am selling these items from my home in Lititz PA 17543 which is about 15 miles east of Hershey PA. Items are on display in my garage. Will sell by the piece or by the box full. Cash only please.

I am unable to bring these items to Hershey as I am disabled from an auto accident last May. An SUV struck me while I was operating a motorcycle and I am no longer able to walk as a result of the accident. An appointment can be made to view the collection most days in the afternoon, except Tuesdays as I have therapy that day. Send me a PM for more information and directions. The photos show some of the items, more getting unboxed each day.

Thank you,

Terry Boyer

I'm sure some pricing might help. The early MOTORS manuals for 1935-42 are $20 each, the rest are $15 each. Same goes for Chilton and Motor Age books at $15 each. Most shop manuals are $15-$20 each, shop manual supplements are $10, parts books are $20 - $25 each and owners manuals are $5 and up.

I appreciate the inputs received so far on my collection and the words of encouragement on my accident. As I mentioned I am no longer able to walk. This is a permanent situation as I have a T11 spinal cord injury due to the wreck. That translates into paralyzed from the waist down. Also, the SUV point of impact was my right leg. It was damaged to the point where it had to be amputated about 8" above the knee. This situation has made me decide to sell off my literature collection as I can no longer maintain it.

The AACA forums have been extremely helpful in my recovery. I have met many great people and I enjoy reading about your cars and projects.

I'm "open for business" right now as I am home every day, with the exception of Tuesday afternoons. Home phone is 717-627-2797 or PM with questions.

Thanks,
