    My old car buying sickness flared up again yesterday , I bought this 1952 Oldsmobile Rocket 88 more-door , this car has 58,773 actual miles , decent body with some cancer down low , runs and drives like a dream w/ a 303 rocket engine & a 3 speed ****** , I need a master cylinder for this car , anyone have one lying around?....I was told by my dad that this sickness just keeps flareing up from time to time , no cure for it , but , at least my wife doesn't mind this affliction....hell, sometimes she incourages it...lol:D

    Sorry just the one on the car. I got mine with only 70k miles, hadn't been run since 74. Sat under a tree hidden from site less than a quarter mile from my house.

    ****** good score is correct-a-mundo! That is a sweet starter, that body is really sweet in a "no-waiting" more door configuration, an awesome cruzer. Congrats and best of luck with the ride. ~sololobo~
