1959 Rambler American
condition: fair
cylinders: 6 cylinders
fuel: gas
odometer: 88,800
title status: clean
transmission: manual
type: coupe
odometer rolled over
2dr post car with a straight six engine and 3 on the tree manual transmission. Includes grille and headlights and interior seats and misc. trim pieces. Engine turns over but last running in 2011 and I don't have a 6V battery to see if it will start up.

Solid car all around with just light rust starting, the passenger floorboard the previous owner cut out some rust that was starting but never installed a patch panel. Trunk is solid, there is a parking lot ding on the lower part of the drivers door.

Located in Federal Way, miles say 88,800 and it comes with ignition key and clean and clear title in hand, rolls easily and I'll help you load it up.

 

That would make an awesome project. I had a 59 Rambler American with the 3 on the tree and electric overdrive when I was 15. Mom got a ticket from the EPA car because it smoked so bad (needed rings). I was going to rebuild the engine when I found out the 265 from the hydroplane would bolt up to the transmission. It was wicked fun until dad finally figured out where the engine came from.

1928 Studebaker for sale by owner - Bellevue, NE - craigslist

 

Two for one.

 

At least it’s a 2 for one deal, if you wanted you could build both of them.

 

I love this thing. I wish I had the talent and money, and the time, to bring it back to life!

..and, if you're into Edsels, this one doesn't look all that bad for the money.
Ranger 2-door hdtp $2500. KC, MO

I’d cruise it

I think the follow up car was the twin carb Sunbeam Rapier ( below ). I,m sure you all know what the Sunbeam Alpine / Tiger looks like.

 

It would appear someone has addressed that issue already. Look closely at this pic from the ad and you will see a shifter on the floor!

 

Yep, I noticed that too.
My brother had a Citation and ended up doing a floor shift. His didn't turn out that great.
Nephew has the car now and is restoring it to the original TeleTouch.

 

This should trip someone's trigger…..

Gotta be kidding. Those dozens of missing Lincoln parts are hard to come by.

 

What's missing?

1964 Olds Cutlass F85 - $5,000 (Chilliwack)

1964 oldsmobile cutlass
condition: good
cylinders: 8 cylinders
drive: rwd
fuel: gas
odometer: 103,000
paint color: black
title status: clean
transmission: automatic
type: convertible
1964 Olds Cutlass F85 convertible. Factory tach, factory console, power windows, power top, PS, PB. Bought this from family friends to clear their estate. Don't have a lot of history, but I know it was in their family for 40-50 years and I was told they bought it from a neighbour grandma, not sure how long she owned it. It runs really great, drives/stops, and I think pretty much everything works. It would make a great candidate for a restoration or donor car. It could use some new rubber seals around doors and trunk, shocks, and here's the kicker, it does need a new frame and likely some body work underneath. I do have a proper replacement frame that goes with the car that was sandblasted and painted, so that would be a great start for a resto. The body and paint are not perfect , but it can also be enjoyed as is, it's really fun. Power top works and the roof is pretty new. No chips in any glass. Serviced by the same mechanic for 30 years. Has a 330 engine.

 

Shame the frame is gone along with the floorboards. My buddy had one of these in high school but a hardtop and it was a really nice car with the switch pitch converter.

 

On the Lincoln, I've only got one picture. Missing things that I can see include a fender and door, probably the grille and lots the trim pieces.

I guess you could pick them up at your local Auto Zone.

 

Did you click on the link?

 

Paceplant is not for everyone. I won't go there.

 

I don't like Facebook either, but it's easy to click on the links, even if you're not a member (I am not one). Here's the ad:

Front and rear axles from a 1940's Ford. I had them for a project but the project is gone.

Great way to present the one view showing. Not much incentive to "turn the page".

 

probably a good idea.
It's mostly fake & AI crap anyway.
But sometimes deals can be found on FB Marketplace

 

Here's a nice one on BaT that has alot of potential….no reserve!
