trimacar Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 (edited) The Pierce in the building with the Blackhawk is a 1929 sedan, which would be a 133... and it's rough...but, hey, it's a Pierce!

GeneR Posted March 1, 2019 Author Share Posted March 1, 2019 The engine has an A prefix, which I understand makes it a '29 engine, although not necessarily desirable. I have been digging and finding parts, I think I have it almost complete now, with some spattering of spare pieces. The interior is a jigsaw puzzle that has been disassembled and scattered, but there is a box of wooden pieces with part numbers stamped on the back. Found the bumpers/hardware. almost all handles and escutcheons (sp?) Certainly cost as much to restore as its worth, but to someone who really wants a Pierce Arrow and doesn't mind doing it themselves..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edinmass Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 Engine is a 29, the accessories are multiple years, it’s a shame that things are reverting back to the fifties and sixties where closed cars are becoming parts cars again. After enough time passes everything seems to come full circle. The Blackhawk looks like it will be a fun turn around from barn find to driver. Fifteen years ago, it seemed the barn finds and forgotten cars were coming to an end, lately I have come across more parts cas and project cars than I have seen in the previous twenty years, unfortunately most of the stuff isn’t moving.

My comment was that, if one took a few airplane trips across the country, one would realize what an immense amount of land area there is, how big the United States is, and the resultant fact that there are a LOT of garages and buildings, any one of which could hold an old car that's "forgotten"...... It does seem that a lot of cars are coming out of hiding these days. It's interesting that there are (and always have been) a lot more collector cars than there are collectors. Almost every collector has more than one collector car, and at any one time there are thousands for sale across the country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pughs Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 This car has a bronze worm gear differential. Do not put any oil in it containing sulfur. It will eat the bronze gears. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeneR Posted August 27, 2019 Author Share Posted August 27, 2019 I’m not doing much, but I did remove plugs and spray in pb blaster a few days ago. Today I was able to turn the crank one turn with the handle, but it was extremely tight! It’s not locked up, and I don’t think I could bend valves and such with that short handle. The only noises I heard were normal ring sliding sounds. Fingers crossed that when I get the chance to pull oil pan and valve cover all can be freed up to run.

ArticiferTom Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 May want to pressurize oil system . Before turning over even by hand . Buy cheap hand suction pump and adapt fitting to and channel plug . Shoot in a couple tubes of oil . You should see the gage rise if your getting in . The babbits will love you for it . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
