Yep, a bit of a mix up there. I am thinking he attached the wrong info to the wrong photos. You see this kind of mistake in ads once in a while. Or, if that is not the case, then the seller is really uninformed.

Hilarious!

At least this guy thinks he knows what it is.

The ads I really say "huh?" to are the ones that have no clue what they have but claim it is rare. How do you know it's rare if you don't know what it is?

Too bad there's little cure for "stupid".

Rarest "36" i've ever seen. Henry must have had a magnificent tooling expense to produce just a single car in this model year. I put the poor sap who parts with his money then tries to order parts for his new purchase. He might be stumping the parts people on the order desk at Mac's.

What the heck is it? Maybe a late 40's Kaiser?
I am sure that floorboard is in great shape under that debris.

I can also see some Kaiser in that, but the hood is all wrong as a dead give-away. Looks Mopar-ish to me. DD

'48 Kaiser

Anyone else want to confirm the GM frame/subframe '76/'79 in pic#1? Don't be shy! Bill

jim galli · 07-13-2017, 02:00 PM

I thought that looked like a GM steering box, correct? Step up men, this a project that just needs finishing.

Winner, winner, chicken dinner! Below is a '46. The hood, center piece above grill, parking lights shape all indicate the Mopar that 51 MERC (and I) suggested! Damn them things are be ugly, and gi-hugic. DD

The same trick "many" use on Epay......the only way anyone will look at their POS (Like putting Chevy & Dodges and other non descript crap in the EFV8's) is to put it in or tag it as a EFV8, otherwise no one would even care or look.

rotorwrench · 07-13-2017, 02:59 PM

My Grandad had an old Frazer of that vintage but it wasn't as nice as that old Kaiser Manhattan convertible in that posted photo. I think that one is a 1950.

Gramps liked the Chryslers too but he still had the Frazer when that car came out.

OK ... wrong pic.

BUT, did anyone notice the other (bunch) of cars he has for sale?

.... well there's some stuff there. Like a nice flathead COE.

His phone number is also included ... for you eagle-eyed barn-find spotters.

Name is Russ. He'll answer the phone .... !

Funny thread.

Sometimes Craig's list is better than 'Walmart people' Newc

PeteVS · 07-14-2017, 05:52 AM

He could probably get more for it if he listed it as a '32 Ford three window coupe instead of a '36.
