deaddds Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 Looks like no asking price and extensive list of parts that might work is the new selling norm? Touting an AACA 1st place is nice but 55 plus years ago? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(craigslist.org) Seller's Description: Please take a look at this senior-owned '22 Paige Lakewood 6-66 Touring Car. This is a 1965 National AACA winner that was left with a family member up to the point of its sale. Currently, the car is complete with a host of (expensive) additional parts. Beautiful full-sized rare example of a survivor-type car worthy of a enjoying. Just over $9300.00 spent to get the engine running. As its 100 years old, it needs a fair amount of maintenance items addressed to enjoy roadworthy use of a neat old car. Solid/No rust. Fuel tank will need to be cleaned/sealed. Interestingly, in during the 1989 World Series in IL, a partial loft collapsed onto the roof bows causing them to be bent.They are not beyond repair but will need attention. Top will need to be replaced. Neat, oversized car. Located in Franklin, TN. Partial trades considered.

32tatra Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 New add says they spent $9300 to get it running, but now it needs a new top and the bows got bent and need fixing. So I guess if the price keeps going up, the amount of work the car will still need will go up too!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trimacar Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 I was brought up in a household with strong Catholic beliefs. Nonsensical as it may be, I would not want to own a car which was a Model 666. Details on money spent would be interesting. Apparently not a completeengine rebuild, so if 80% of money spent was labor cost that adds little value to car. It is a big, impressive car, though… 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW, anyone know what wire wheels were available optionally on these Paiges? This car would look great on a set.

John_Mereness Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 Nice car with a fairly realistic price albit perhaps a touch high gien needing a top, fuel tank redone, and a lot of small cosmetic this and thats) - and even in 1965 an AACA First was a scarce item with very few awarded (took a great condition car then to win too).

Leif in Calif Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 Now $29,000. I'm sure if they just find the magic combination of digits in the price it will sell instantly! https://sacramento.craigslist.org/cto/7565161717.html (513) 444-5921 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimy Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 I can tell you from personal experience that these cars have two difficult components: * v-shaped radiator with herringbone fins as part of the exterior design, which would cost more than the car is worth to have duplicated. * water pump shaft: The shaft is about 30" long, captive in the water pump, and extends from the pulley to the generator coupler, and midway contains a forged spiral bevel gear to drive the distributor and (external) oil pump. Virtually impossible to repack front side of the water pump on the car. To remove water pump, one must first remove hood, radiator and shell, headlights, pulley, timing cover, one timing gear (no chain), distributor, oil pump, generator--probably a few more that I've forgotten. Only then can one remove the three nuts and the hose connections to remove the water pump. I had a new WP shaft made to fit into the original shaft behind the drive gear for dist and oil pump, secured with a tapered pin. When considering one of these cars with a Continental 8A, 9A, or 10A engine, look for a similar modification. That said, it's a great engine but the diff is pretty deep (specs say 4.55 but I removed a 4.75 from a parts car). Ralph Mulford's >100 mph run in a Paige Daytona necessitated about 2.0 gears or even taller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
