    Guys and gals, I know I am always bragging about my barn finds, field cars, and of course my recent hemi collection purchase. Today was no different as I found pair of Lincoln V12 flatheads, a flathead V8 60 horse engine, a pair of Model A doors, and a very cool vintage motorcycle. It was all priced to sell and I'm not a rich guy. Just a simple country man. I bought it all. Here are a couple of photos. More later.

    I know. Everyone hates me. But never mind that, how about a pallet full of Columbia rear end parts.

    Oh, I am going to. I got 17 hemis hauled home so far and many more to go. Big job. They are heavy to haul. Will have more updates on that later. I want to get that collection home and sorted and take better photos.

    They can be pricey sometimes. I sold a real nice complete unit recently for $3,000.

    Is the Motor Cycle frame from a James Motorcycle? If so did you get the rest of it? I have only seen two of them at swap meets in the last twenty five years, both very expensive. Restored, $5,000.00-$7,000.00. The fork side view appears to be from a James Motorcycle made in late 40's early 50's. They were powered by a Villiers 125 cc two stroke engine with a three speed hand shifted transmission like early Indians & Harleys.

    I have posted a thread on the jockeyjournal.com asking for ID help. I have no idea. One of them so far has suggested it might be a Famous James bike. I have never heard of that. The guy that sold it to me said it used to have a Villiers engine. I never heard of that either. I hoping it's rare. I know nothing about motorcycles. I just liked it.

    I am no expert but I have seen some very similar front ends from that motorcycle advertised as a Hummer front end from a 50's model Harley. The rest of the bike looks quite a bit older than that and doesnt resemble a Hummer.- Drew
