R W Burgess Posted August 26, 2003 Share Posted August 26, 2003 I've had a great experience this last year attending some major meets, especially Hershey, and admiring and, should I say lusting, after some of the really nice Classics that have been displayed. I have in front of me a picture taken in Florida of a pristine '32 Nash 4 door cabriolet? that I'd love to own. And then last week I'm going through the for-sale cars on the Classic Car site when I spot something reasonable, a '29 Stutz Blackhawk 4dr sedan with dual sidemounts, wirewheels all for $26,500 recently reduced to $24,500. Don sent me some pictures. What do you think? Wayne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Kinker Posted August 26, 2003 Share Posted August 26, 2003 You haven't bought it yet????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nearchoclatetown Posted August 27, 2003 Share Posted August 27, 2003 Something that big would require at least a 392, if not a 426 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R W Burgess Posted August 27, 2003 Author Share Posted August 27, 2003 Gee Doug, You think I'd cut up something that pretty? I've got one more picture to post if I can downsize it. We just had a big thunder/tornado blow through here with golfball size hail, so I'm a little behind. I'm in luck! A friend just called. Check the first part of my next car out. Wayne Post Script; The attached picture is for a 327 with the original style rochesters. GM casting no. on manifold is 3749948, I think. Those 9's and 8's look alot alike. You know, the wife didn't say a thing about me buying this! <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Is this reverse psychology, guys? W.

nearchoclatetown Posted August 27, 2003 Share Posted August 27, 2003 Are you sure it's not for a 348? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dynaflash8 Posted August 27, 2003 Share Posted August 27, 2003 Wayne your weather report caught my attention. There was a tornado and golfball size hail up there? Yesterday or today? If you weren't kidding, maybe I should worry about my house up there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R W Burgess Posted August 27, 2003 Author Share Posted August 27, 2003 Earl, I'm sure W.A. would have called you if there was a problem. Be thankful all your cars are garaged. Also Nearchoc... is right. A friend just called and said the manifold fits a '58-'60 348 Chevy. Not what I need. No money has changed hands so I'm OK. This post has generated a lot of e-mail help to my next purchase from my friends. I haven't made a decision yet. The owner of the Stutz does seriously want to sell his car. More info is available under the buy/sell side of classic cars. He has been very open with me, so let him know if you're interested. Wayne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BruceW Posted August 27, 2003 Share Posted August 27, 2003 Mr. Beauchamp,I tried to send several emails to you last week using any email addresses I have for you but they kept coming back. Seeing your reply here, I just now attempted to send an email using the address on your profile here (which I also used before) but it immediately came back as undeliverable. Attempts were made on two different servers so I don't think the problem is on my end.Has your address changed? Do drop a line sometime. <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Wayne,Nice looking vehicle. You'd sure look good driving it down the road. <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DeSoto Frank Posted August 27, 2003 Share Posted August 27, 2003 So are you going to trade the 3-deuce set-up for the Stutz even-up ? <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />(Sounds like a good deal to me !)Very pretty car - hope it comes your way! <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketraider Posted August 27, 2003 Share Posted August 27, 2003 Was down in Asheboro NC today at Bingham's junkyard and there were two 4bbl 348s setting in the shop floor- one stick with bellhousing attached, other I'm not sure. Mr. Jim has some neat stuff in that yard if you're ever nearby, all separated by make and not overgrown too badly. We were looking for 60s Olds/Pontiac and found a couple goodies. On NC 49, about 15 miles south of Asheboro. You'll get to Richard's first, but I don't think that yard's even worth stopping in any more- all he has is gold-plated rust. The gates were locked this morning at 11:30, so he may not even be open anymore. He's threatened to sell out and close half a dozen times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
