A guy I know bought an old Lotus. When he went to get title the CA DMV said "There is a military Humvee with a same VIN# registered in Kentucky since 2011". The Kentucky DMV had sheriff involved and can't located the Humvee anywhere. I am pretty sure a LOTUS VIN# is much shorter than a...

A friend is leaving the area so will be putting his M37 up for sale. Does the fact that it is former air-force make any difference in value? Still wearing its original light blue paint. Extremely low mileage, runs, has both a hard top and winch. Looked around the forum but not seeing a value...

Visited a neighbor today who is clearing out some of his project cars. Mostly hot-rod cars and parts from the 30's and up. Among the trove is a never mounted Phillipine made "Jeep" body. I have no interest in it and no idea of it's value. His story is that they were made as replacement bodies...

The hoarder I work for part-time has asked me to help sell some of his stash. Among the mass of wrecks and hulks sits a five-ton that "Ran when parked". Not sure of the model, set up as a tractor, soft top cab. Pretty much rust free as it's been kept in the dry Nevada desert. Soft parts such as...

A while back I found an add for "25 HP" ex-mil 4-Cyl. diesel engines virtually complete with zero hours on the rebuild. When I saw the price I assumed it was a typo. I realize the price does not include shipping. I also think the "25 HP" figure is not the actual HP. If these would drive a 15 KVA...

Bringing diesel generators back into service? I readily admit to not being a diesel mechanic, so pointers will be much appreciated. It seems it is falling to me to bring several Gen-Sets back into service after hibernation. Unfortunately they were not put away properly, I think most were...

"Ran when parked". Post up your desert, forest, farm field, bomb-range, and barn finds. Bonus points if you rescued the truck or found someone else to do so. ;) Here is one sitting "Up on the hill" where I work part-time. Ran When Parked, owners son says they used to drive it in the hills...

I work for a building contractor/hoarder who has a lot of ex-Mil. equipment laying about. Someone might be able to talk him out of the "Duece and a half"? tractor he is letting sit, it needs rescue. I will try to get a pic, typical "Ran when parked" like so much of what he has. Among the hoard...

Thought I had joined this group a couple of years ago but could not log in, so here I am, again? Land Rover is a 1977 RHD, GS, FUT, ex-RAF Rapier missile carrier, also FFW (So 24v) and fitted with Nokken winch. Only been driving it a short time. Previously sat in Kalifornia for several years...
