I was just out of college, new job, new wife, and subsidizing my income by buying old cars and parting them. Always wondered what ever happened to this old gal! The good ole days, when someone putting an antique car on a trailer made the newspaper. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JACK M Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 I guess we have already covered Oregon but, Garbage in, garbage out. Oops, I guess the garbage out pic is on my phone, but they are all gone to the same buyer. He sent three roll decks. Still have the trailers. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Dobbin Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 1934 Ford Phaeton on the way back to Florida after the coldest Glidden Tour ever in Mackinaw City an the UP of Michigan, 2001 We had to stop and tour on the North GA & NC mountains around Lake Chatuge in Hiawassee, GA. Also visited Franklin NC where eventually moved. Phaetons are great fair weather touring cars, and GMC's are still great touring coaches. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bingo, a 1977 GMC Eleganza III with it's 455 Olds engine and a 455 final drive, 7 MPG towing. With it's original 307 final drive drive it got 11 MPG, but was no good at towing, but would cruise at 80 MPH. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Dobbin Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 (edited) What;\'s the drive line in the Jaguar? There had to be a reason to widen it. Looks like the hood widening is next. I'm sure it will be a awesome ride when done. I used Jaguar front and rear suspension in a Model A Ford years ago, which I'll never do again, but it was fun to drive with it's Mustang V8 and a C6 Trans..

Xander Wildeisen Posted August 3 Author Share Posted August 3 Widened 9 inches, stretched 7 inches, XJS V12 with duel fours, automatic transmission, XJS rear suspension, after market polished front suspension, four wheel disk brakes, Dayton wire wheels 18 inch in the back, 17 inch in the front, duel exhaust in the center of the rear of the car, modified stock frame, custom gas tank, modified and stretched convertible top that still folds down, windshield frame and top chopped 1 1/4, custom 200 mph speedometer with matching gauges, steel floors, modified Mark2 trunk lid, have two hoods and four doors to complete the body mods.It has been a long project that always got pushed in the corner for customers cars( and random Hudson's) Would be nice to drive it, I think it might have also been part of the targeting in Idaho. People there seemed to want your stuff as you are destroyed and driven out, or framed. Two more trips, then everything will be out of Idaho. Got the trip mapped out. Just waiting for the right time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xander Wildeisen Posted August 9 Author Share Posted August 9 Here is a picture of my first Hudson, a 1952 Wasp sedan. Car is loaded up in Boise Idaho, ready to go to a club member recommended by Glen Johnson, to get a new clutch installed. We trailed it to Utah to have “shiftless Leo” (that was what Glenn called him) install a new clutch. I was 17-18 years old at the time, 34 years ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xander Wildeisen Posted August 9 Author Share Posted August 9 (edited) Here is a picture taken somewhere between Boise Idaho and Seattle Washington. We moved to Seattle when I was 19. I was driving my 52 Wasp, the car with the tarp on it, is my dad’s 37 Terraplane utility coupe. Behind it you can just see the roof of my 37 Terraplane utility coupe being towed with the other moving van.

TAKerry Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 Dang George, You hit the mother lode! 20240819_094721 by Kerry Grubb, on Flickr This was in Colora MD yesterday. Not a car but equally as worthy in my eyes! I couldnt tell if it was a panhead, but def. a hardtail. I was trying to snap a pic so I didnt look too close but it appeared to be nicely restored. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Found out the distributor drive was broken when we got it home so we sold it not running! Still got stupid money for it. Last photo is Max guiding off into my back driveway at Encounter Bay, South Australia. Smelt awful inside! If ‘‘twas a Buick would be a different story! Rodney 😀😀😀😀😀😀 Back in the day working in an auto parts store we stocked the plastic distributor drive gear and the clip and pin as a kit. We had a contest to see who could get the most money for the kit. I remember 1 Sunday a guy came in needing the gear and he was from the other side of our state. My co-worker got $24.95 plus tax. Of course the guy paid the price, it was a quick and easy fix and he was able to get home. The gear kit retailed for $3.95. just sayin' brasscarguy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back in the day, I was a Parts Interpreter ( Counter Hopper) for the large Chrysler Parts Distributor for our State, (Pun intended) and sold many of those gear kits myself for the Slant Six. Should have remembered that’s what failed on these, but I think I removed all the Chrysler Parts Knowledge when I got interested in Pontiacs and Buicks. I also think that we probably didn’t want to mess too much with what we had, given it was a flipper, though no doubt, with a running engine, would have been worth more $$$$$$$ Gee, that was err more than …… sheesh ….. 45years ago 😳😳😳😳😳 Rodney 😀😀😀😀😀😀 PS but can still remember quite a few Chrysler part numbers for some of the fast moving items. 😀 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TAKerry Posted September 17 Share Posted September 17 Just joshing Jim. Its a nice looking car. Although I think original motor, brakes, drivetrain, etc. maintained properly are perfectly 'safe' to drive down the road. Now for enhanced 'modern safety' perhaps seatbelts and even an airbag (if thats even possible) should be added. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
