Re: Towing with a car dolly?

Thanks, all.

I'll find a trailer to borrow.

Spare Tire - Stupid Question

Um,

How do I get the spare tire off of my '36 Tudor Sedan?

It does not have a key lock. The hinged center of the tire cover opens and reveals what looks like a split cone with a spring.

Re: charge for pics: real buyers get upset?

$1500 rolling chassis even get pics where I live.

Re: bummed............

How do you "forget" to place a reserve? Guy's probably an idiot or a scammer.




Sure, spend $10,000 on an attorney to get a $5000 truck;)

Re: Weight

You can Google the specs.

My '36 Tudor is listed at around 2600 lbs - probably a dry-ish weight;).

What price guides are the most accurate for vintage car values?

Re: How do you handle disrespect for you & your car?

It hasn't happened with anything I currently own, but in the past a simple it's not for sale usually sufficed.

I'm assuming this can be done and what I heard wasn't tongue in cheek.
