Post a photo of your old junker.

It wasn't my Junker (my ancestors were not serfs but free peasants) but close to it.

Ahhh... Willytee!

I love that old '53 Ford pickup's grill. It has a bit of "jet age" aerostyle. Most old pickups look old, but that one could look fast and mean with the right paint and wheels.

My current project .. a 1953 GMC 1 1/2 ton that used to be a Pabst Blue Ribbon delivery truck .. you can kind of make out the logo on the door and front of the hood.Attachment 178020Attachment 178021

This has to be restored back to Pabst Blue Ribbon glory! Where did you get this beauty?

LOL, I figured it would be MACs who would address Junker Airplanes, like a JU 52. There seems to be rise of old car enthusiast in the US. The neat thing is, the price slowly goes up, VS a new car where the price drops. The other aspect is cost of parts, they are available and not too expensive as compared to new cars. I saw a beautiful Corvair Monza convertible yesterday.

There is a extreme price rise over here. Just have been on one of the largest fairs/trade shows for oldtimers in Europe and the market has been constantly going up for years now.

The Porsche 964 RS is a good example, I know a case where someone sold his for around 40k euros a few years ago, and today they are going between 70k and 6 digits...

Same situation for alot of oldtimers with some prestige. And I don't think this price raise is gonna stop anytime soon.

Macs. Thanks. Seems to be the same here. Cool cars and they are unique.

I bought my first Mini in 1977, brand new £1,950 on the road.

You're right Hollis, it belongs in here. Hah. I recently put in a new alternator, front wheel bearings, rotors and brake pads...Have the head gasket, just need to get a torque wrench from my brother. Oddly enough, nearly any replacement part is available from a place in Kansas called Victoria British...

Didn't realise you had one of those - how come it hasn't rusted to bits up there in the woods?

Loved my Spit (another 1500 although without the silly export bumpers/fenders) - great fun to chuck around the country roads in Devon and Dorset, but a PITA to get any kit in. I chopped it in for Mk1 Golf GTi in the end.
