Yes, it was you "Dusty" I was trying to think of. Wasn't implying anything, just thought of your car right off the bat.

Isn't that the optional "starter drive sheared bolt drain orifice? "

I have an UGA horn. I have a 12V system and run a standard horn, it doesn't sound right, but I've only used it twice. Once to see if it worked and the second to show the inspector at road worthy time.

Here's a couple of shots from the Clive Cussler museum in Arvada CO. Note that the high dollar French cars from the thirties are painted in colors that were not original. Somewhat disconcerting until you realize that A): they're his cars and he can paint them any color he wants and B): they actually look pretty good.

Slightly cheesy write up in the ad but the car looks fairly clean and tidy.
i should list my car on ebay (with a price nobody would ever want to pay so i get to keep my car) just to see the reaction here. "Bad door gap, weird home made light switch and a J.C. Whitney horn. Oh the humanity". It would be funny.
