Why I should not be allowed to go to auctions...

[Charley Lillard]

As I was unloading my three outboard engines that I have no boat for I got to thinking of all the stupid stuff I bring home from auctions. I bought these engines at Mecum Indy...I hate you Dana Mecum. Thankyou Eric and Dave from Daves Nostalgia signs for doing amazing job of crating and shipping them to me...After a hour of unscrewing the crate I have 3 cool useless engines and a lifetime supply of screws. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php?ubb=download&Number=25955&filename= photo1.jpg http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php?ubb=download&Number=25956&filename= tn_IMG_4713.JPG http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php?ubb=download&Number=25957&filename= tn_IMG_4714.JPG http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php?ubb=download&Number=25959&filename= tn_IMG_4716.JPG http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php?ubb=download&Number=25960&filename= tn_IMG_4717.JPG http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php?ubb=download&Number=25962&filename= tn_IMG_4719.JPG http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php?ubb=download&Number=25961&filename= tn_IMG_4718.JPG

Then for some reason I feel the need for a Ford 9N tractor with a aluminum Buick V8. Thanks again Dana !Then I need a Triumph..again Dana. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php?ubb=download&Number=25964&filename= tn_photo3.jpg Or a Isetta thanks to Drew Alcazar. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php?ubb=download&Number=25967&filename= tn_photo5.jpg Or a Peel thanks to Craig Jackson.. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php?ubb=download&Number=25965&filename= tn_photo4.jpg A old plane pedal car blame goes again to Dana. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php?ubb=download&Number=25968&filename= tn_photo6.jpg Or a Austin sedan with the roof cut off credit goes to Mitch Silver. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php?ubb=download&Number=25969&filename= tn_photo7.jpg

[Charley Lillard]

Last but not least is 115 Corvettes I bought at Barrett-Jackson... Going to these auctions the only one of those items I wanted was the triumph. This is getting out of hand.. I hate all the auctions for making me drag home this junk.... http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php?ubb=download&Number=25971&filename= tn_photo1.jpg

Charley, now you're really starting to scare me. I also have 2 old outboards (and an old boat for them). It can be as additive as old cars. Be careful.

I've got a boat. Send them to me.

[Charley Lillard]

The only guy that knows what will happen whenever I go to a auction is Phil Silva...Nothing surprises him anymore.

[m22mike]

To hell with a boat, the motors are cool and you got the best part. But what's up with them little cars.. <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif and I don't mean the ones in the glass case... <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif

Yep, all cleaned up, sitting on the stand between my '57 and the Coke machine. I'll check with Thomas and see if we can get together <span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="font-style: italic">SOON</span></span>! Hope Don &amp; Rick are up for a road trip.

Looks like you can’t quit yet – there’s a bunch of empty shelves! <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif

You could try mounting one of the outboard engines on back of the Isetta or the Peel and see if they will float. <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif

If the opposed twin in the box is a whole conventional motor w/ shaft/prop and looking for a home, please let me know more about it..
A buddy o' mine has a 30's era Hydro racer he inherited from his Grandfather w/ one of these Speed-Twin motors but some bastard pinched the motor and he needs another..

The one in the box is the one pictured out of the box called &quot;Fold Light&quot; by Evinrude. It is hinged to fold up, so you can put it in the box and then the trunk of your car. No I'm keeping it..

[PeteLeathersac]

Thanks Charley!.
The one buddy had was a similar era Evinrude called a Speed Twin, looked much the same including gastank and an opposed twin too but no folding mechanism!.
Now that you're an old boat guy, please keep your eyes peeled!.

I wish I had your problem Charley! I've never even had enough money to be a registered bidder at an auction! LOL

[69L78]

Charley, since you like little cars, how about this Nash Metro I saw at the 2011 York, PA Street Rod show, it has New Jersey plates on it. Also, I have to send out a BIG thanks to Charley for making it much easier for us dummies to post pics.

[Jack_Tar]

Ok, while we are on small cars, here is a project I had when I lived in Italy.

[TimG]

Was that one of Pauls Triumphs?

[Charley Lillard]

yep......

[TimG]

Glad you got one. His daughter, Kristin, got one, also.

I wanted to bid, but we decided to go to the Speedway at at the last minute.
