    Very Kool ! I have the family Midget my Dad built in 46/7 first raced in 48. One of these days I'll finish the restoration and it has brought a lot of good memories back from my childhood that I had not thought about in years, my Mother in 79,Dad passed in 87.

    Lots of very nice cars on here. I too have sold several that I regret letting go. Bu will hang on to these two. Both are not completely done, but the 58 runs and drives and is an honest car. The other is the car that bit me with the car bug when I was only around 4 or 5. mont ward.jpg 482.jpg 58.jpg

    I don't seem to get anyone asking about my cars being for sale, I guess no one wants them.
     
  6. I love that overdrive unit.

    Should of never put my car on craigslist to sell- keep getting calls from people wanting to know if its still for sale or hoping to get the car cheap and turn it over to make a profit. Now I ask (what do you have to trade?). Works for me!

    Now that I've had time to think about it, I'd have no problem selling anything that could easily duplicated like my 63 Impala. If it was something that was rare and hard to find that might be a different story. The last 5 cars I've sold have been X frame Chevies which are still quite plentiful.

    What kind of overdrive unit is that?
    I would love to put one on my wagon as I have been kicking the idea of putting an auto in it and that would make it a better road car.
    There would probably have to be some frame work because I don't think the X frame would accommodate it.



    That is a very nice car:)

    2 of them in fact, and one which is currently in "I'm going to fix it up someday" status that perhaps is not as safe.

    Yup! None of mine are ever for sale. Had to scrap one a year ago as my boss was letting me keep it at the office and we moved when he sold the property. I had no place to take it and it hadn't run for eight years. Waited until bulldozers were on site before I called the scrapers, It was a non-HAMB vehicle, a '93 Chrysler Concorde but I still miss it anyway.

  16. Are you my lost twin brother? I have held on to my Belair since 1975 and would not part with it. Well maybe for stupid money. I have had everything else I own forever also. '84 Monte and '97 Jeep, bought new and still have both.

    I won't part with either of these. The coupe was given to me when I was 5 years old, and I learned to drive a 3 speed in the truck when I was around 12 or 13.

    Had these since the 70's 2 pans and a cast iron sportster hardtail that is the first HD that I built. Knees to old to kick them over, hands tend to cramp so bad I might not be able to pull the clutch yet I still hang on to them.......maybe if the right person came along. Last time I rode was about 6 years ago...had tons of fun on these things. Kids want them but their to busy with life and families.

    I always kick myself in the ass when I sell one especially a 32 . But here I am again thinking of selling my 32. Our lives have changed so drastically in the last 2 months it seams like an option right now.

    Yeah, I say not for sale but like most of you, there is a crazy money price if someone started laying out cash. So I just tell people who ask, "Start laying out 100 dollar bills and I'll tell you when it's enough"

    I'm 63 and building my RPU has been a dream since I was 22.
    Life raising kids and other priorities always prevented it from being possible.

    Then the kids grew up, I got divorced and then later married a great woman from Texas.

    Now that building my RPU from scratch is happening I can't imagine it being sold while I'm still around.
    Maybe my son might want to keep it.

    <<Built this six pics 002 (1280x1024).jpg From That \/ six pics 005.jpg If I were to charge $5.00 per hour and include the cost of all parts and materials . it would probably be the most expensive 33 Ford 4 door ever , so it is not affordable nor is it for sale

    That's great you have a piece of history there. What motor did your Dad run in the car?

    When somebody asks me if I want to sell one of my cars, I tell them my widow just might sell it.

    "What's her telephone number," a few guys have asked.

    "Can't tell you," I say, "because she isn't a widow yet."

    I've got three "I'm gonna fix them someday" vehicles.

    I used to race the Anglia in the 70's.

    My dad had a new 56 F0rd big window pickup when I was growing up. I bought this one in the 1990s.

    My first bike was a 1947 Knucklehead in the late 60s. I got this one around 15 years ago.

    And, yes, I'm working on all three right now.
