Profit from it. So gas prices are up and climbing? Buy stock in oil exploration, refining, etc. China laughing at us by selling cheap crap to...
My dad. He collected vintage Bentleys when I was young. The big prewar monsters. I rebelled, of course, and initially preferred the newer cars...
Riva Aquarama is what I used to lust for. Pretty much a Chris Craft.
I used to live in the S.F. Bay area and frequented the Historic Races. Best event in the whole weekend. Easily tops Pebble, Concorso, etc.
Thanks Gator, that's a start. Hyfire, you're right it was a 61 now that I think of it. Placed 10th. Amazing.
Goo Gone. Don't know how it affects the surface of the plate so maybe try a small drop in the corner, but it's worked great on some other painted...
Saw those in my search, but thanks for sharing.
Anyone have any in depth information about the 1950 Cadillac Coupe DeVille that Briggs Cunningham took to Le Mans in 1950? Dunno if it's O/T...
There is lot of money to be made in oil trading, but high gas prices have a lot more to do with other aspects of the commodity than the lower...
Actually, price of oil is going up in relation to all currencies.
They'll take the lowest NADA appraisal according to my buddy who just bought a Sunbeam Tiger for racing and won't go below it no matter what the...
Went to 2 different states checking out potential buys. Let me just say that buying old cars in the Northeast sucks.
Thanks a lot guys. I haven't purchased the car yet, just wanted to make sure I wasn't chasing something that would lead to a dead end anyway.
Yeah, comparisons don't really mean much. Hong Kong has $15-$20/gallon equivalent. But barely anyone drives in comparison, and driving 30 mins...
OK, so ran the searches and went to www.mass.gov/rmv and I can't seem to be able to get my answer. I spoke to a friend of mine who does vintage...
Actually, there is a ridiculous amount of money to be made from it. :D But yes it is a shame it hurts the bottom line if you are in a line of...
Great read!
Yep, they make molds and sell off the real thing unless the museum is very well funded (very few are). Paleontologists make crap btw, someone...
Damn! That's nice. I was wondering if it was even possible to chop a fastback. Looks great.
Chopshop, Highboyroadsterboy, just a heads up, i sent you guys a pm. :)
Finally a post I can have a little input on! I used to be into Italian cars in a big way. Not just very active in the online community but as...
I'm looking for a 1936 Buick if that counts for anything :)
I think he means sites like the one he listed in the post...
I was surprised to see a MA thread in here and as I started reading I realized just how old it was. Well, new guy checking in. Went to school in...
Gigantor, that's a great point. I do want this to be a learning experience. Granted, for someone as green as me just about everything short of...
Thanks a lot to everyone. Great info here so far. I know for you guys it's probably a no-brainer, and after reading some of the posts it echoes...
This is gonna hugely vary based on restoration competency, budget and all, but I just wanted to get a feel from you veterans out there. I've...
Been looking around this site for a bit now and find the stuff here to be a fantastic read. Just another guy, bored out of my skull with new...
It would be great if there was a section for people who are just getting in the hobby or have very little mechanical aptitude. I'm getting into...
