Leif in Calif Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 You wonder why this person bought these...maybe they just couldn't pass up "a deal"? It looks like someone has rigged up something to oil the rockers on the Chevy. that would be a good idea, as long as they didn't park in my driveway! https://santabarbara.craigslist.org/cto/d/buellton-1923-chevrolet-superior/7463556712.html (805) 331-2184 This is a very original car in almost time warp condition we have not tried to start it so running condition is unknown bought from an estate and seller could not find the paperwork so for sale with bill of sale or can provide title at buyers expense .Also have a 1915/16 Saxon Roadster in similar condition for $3500 {pics included}Had to take these two cars in a package but not my cup of tea so priced very realisticallymight take a trade for something of similar value ...will make a package deal for bothSteve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAKerry Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 'Had to take these 2 cars but not my cup of tea', yes one would wonder why they would buy them in the first place. Unless it was at an auction and he was the only car guy there and got the pair for a $500 bid! Gonna play my broken record again, but these look like they could be fun to mess around with, IF they werent so far away and I had either A. a bigger shop or 2. nothing else going on right now.

supercub Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 I like the Saxon. Both are neat though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gearheadengineer Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 I too like the Saxon. I would jump all over that if it were close to me. Might be small enough that I could hide it somewhere and remain married. Maybe the package deal included that Fiesta. Which I would also like to have. 😁 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are looking at the round tank up high? That is the stock original vacuum fuel pump. That tank has very fancy embossed cursive script of makers name on the front face. I forget what the name was. Then the blue hand oiler is for the valves and other things. Pretty sure this age of Chevy had a thick felt blanket laying on top of valve rockers that you had to keep well oiled, (they never had a valve cover.) 31 minutes ago, TAKerry said: one would wonder why they would buy them in the first place. likely he is a flipper just making a few bucks (without getting greedy), I used to do that to pay for my hobby costs.

Pretty sure this age of Chevy had a thick felt blanket laying on top of valve rockers that you had to keep well oiled, (they never had a valve cover.) I look after an unrestored '25 Chevy that belongs to the city where I live. It has the felt arrangement (replaced by foam) and 2 valve covers. I think you are right that the earlier cars (like the 490) didn't have a valve cover. Amazing when you think about all the dirt roads when they were new. Must have been quite a mess! I thought it looked like there were some lines going to the rocker area in one picture but you can't really see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
