riffking7 Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 (edited) Hello everyone, I am looking for a Marmon Big 8. Good driver quality condition, older restoration holding up and in good shape, or a nice barn find. Thank you Kevin 561 317 5651 Edited June 10, 2023 by riffking7 miss named (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edinmass Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 (edited) Super 8 Marmon? I’m familiar with a Big 8 and a Model 880. I’m no Marmon expert, I have never heard of nomenclature Marmon super eight. Edited June 10, 2023 by edinmass (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like a Blue 1929/30 era long wheelbase sedan was on here for sale in the last 3-4 months. maybe some one will provide the link or correct me if I am not remembering correctly.

wayne sheldon Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 A bit more about just what you are looking for would help. Most of the "Marmon" automobiles for sale recently have been the Marmon Roosevelt or the pre Roosevelt small eight cylinder car. Cars have ranged from a 1929 sedan needing major restoration, but not terrible, for $5000 on up to an overpriced coupe fully (but not quite properly?) restored in the $30,000 neighborhood. My two tries at searches got differing results in spite of wording my query the same both times. This was the most results; https://forums.aaca.org/search/?q=Marmon for sale&quick=1 The 1927 speedster was speculated to also be a small eight, and no price was given. If I recall correctly, there was a big eight Marmon about 1930 included in an upcoming auction listing recently discussed around here. However, since I do not actually follow the auctions myself, I don't recall which of several it may have been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edinmass Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 Big 8 Marmon’s are interesting cars. I have been chasing a Big 8 convertible coupe for over 40 years……….barn type condition. Owned by a local farmer in Massachuetts it has since disappeared off my and every one else’s radar. More of a childhood dream than a necessity. I’m guessing it’s long gone and restored by now. I thought I located it on the west coast 15 years ago, but it was a different car. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walt G Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 The one Marmon Big 8 that I can recall was owned by my late friend Russel Stadt decades ago. two tone blue four door sedan. Amazing car. He also had a Little 8 as well and was a incredible collector of Marmon literature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
