Those old gravity flow pumps are already worth a fortune.
We call those Visible Pumps, and yes they are very expensive that is if you can find someone who wants them more than you. I sold 13 unrestored pumps to a friend who has automobile signage and Muscle Cars, and yeah he has the money. There use to be a lot of petroleum memorabilia, pumps and the like on e-bay but I think now it is gone.
'87 was a good year for financial advisers, they still made money while mine went down the tube.
I was told to make a million on the stock market, start out with two million
Awesome, that fits me like a well worn sock. Thanks

Tis true, a no. of yrs back a troop left No. Houston private airport and was heading to La Port,Tx, about 15-20miles, for maintenance. He didn't make because an intake tube removed its self from the engine and he made a three point landing, that is w/two main tires and the prop spinner. All because he didn't want to pay the air wrench the scale.
I spent 26 mos.('60-'62) in Japan, their auto accidents were mostly totaled out, the Russian videos remind me so much of that life.
I am still waiting for my airbag replacement for my '09 Silverado, it seems the charge is too old or something to that effect.
Speaking of Russian videos, this morn. I received this crazyness from China, these people are worse than the Ruskies, I think. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6-Oz_Kyac1mZmNYd0Q4Wnd3TDQ/view
We called them scissor tail, thanks for the proper name
And am I glad, I had forgotten most of these ugly POS. Some of these cars are like now days at the car shows, seems like the owners don't know where to stop. LMAO
Thanks for the memories.
Awesome.....Shake Not Stirred
I think the radar braking would have helped people like Jane Mansfield and her group, or the guy driving, or actually "on auto pilot" on the Tesla who in both instances drove in an 18 wheeler. Tesla has some work to do, and this is not for me, I would rather pull the trigger myself.
That's a lot of dirty diapers, and back in the days of washable "B29s" and others. I wonder if the father still had a place at the supper table. LOL And that reminds me of my fav. poem
There was a girl how begat..... Oh I have already posted that here. LMAO
L*S
That is a Flux Capacitor, the last of an electronic ding dong.

Did you noticed that there is not a rear view mirror on the door , and the door hinges look peculiar from the outside
I love that design, typ of a lot of early cars, there was one came out of Colorado named Bocar, I believe, I loved it.
For a fellow who had never built any car, hot rod or otherwise, certainly did a fine job on this one. Reading the specifications it claimed the chassis was 4" tube or pipe, could be a typo or that is what he had, but so big.
That Edelbrock Log manifold, I have never seen a cast one. I built a "u-fab-it" log way back there,abt '57

I would like to see the engine in that car. From the looks of the hood, it must be a monster.
The car is powered by a Chrysler Hemi, surprisingly he swapped the red car for a Corvette SR2 and I am proud for him for that move. BTW I love that car.
Down here the wx starts to turn bad the officials will get the children off the playing field for fear of lightening strikes. For photography may work
