1960s Classified Ads
 

After reading the other post on old car mags I thought it would be fun to post a few classified ads from early '60s HRMs.



Ed Roth's A pickup with his Slauson Avenue shop address.

Tommy Ivo's T being sold by second owner Bill Roland. After Norm Grabowski's pioneering T-bucket built in 1954-55 this car is said to be the second "Fad T" built. Ivo snuck over to Grabowski's house at night and took measurements and built this car. It now resides in the NHRA museum in Pomona.

Whttps://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/eek.gifW...quite the sample listings and famous names like Roth, Winfield etc!!!.

I remember reading about that '55 'Vette before and recall it has an EXP Vin also maybe has '53 frame #002...isn't the earliest known car #003?.

That duece 3-window and '34 5-window are sweet...nice deal on the L72 BelAir too!.

I've got many old issues of HMN from the 1975-90's that have similar classifed car & parts ads in them.Unreal how inexpensive & common things were back then compared to today..

Re: 1960s Classified Ads
 

I wonder what ever happened to that 55 Vette.. Neat car!!

My high school (1976-80) metal shop instructor had one of these and coincidentally he lived not far from this one.

Those are cool

Re: 1960s Classified Ads
 

OMG! A '59 FI for $1100.! You couldn't buy the air cleaner for that today!
I think I'll call the number............ https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/haha.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/haha.gif

Verne

Re: 1960s Classified Ads
 

Did you miss the 409/425 that's in the 38 Chevy Verne?.

Being a roadster, that Gran Sport would be #001 or #002..
And another good investment at $4500...valued more like 4.5 mil now?.

As a side note to the GS stuff, I wonder what ever happened to that alum. SB that had 'Super' or something cast into it and someone was seeking info on here close to a couple years back...remember that one Verne?. Who knows if the post was genuine but I've always wondered since if the original SB's from the GS's and the XP819 had this cast into it?.

Great thread Bill...it'll probably become a long one like the Rotting Muscle and Aircraft ones!.

A few key examples could become a standard page we can print off and lay on the girls when they question our wisdom of buying more cars...that GS for 'Vette purchases etc?.

I didn't miss the '09 in the coupe Pete. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif I love reading those old ads, like the '63 Z-11 at the end of the '64 season for $3K. Heck, I was 14 at the time and lucky if I had 3 DOLLARS in my pocket! Today's market value for these great cars and my pocket are still at about the same ratio! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/blush.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/blush.gif

I do rememebr a thread about a block with "super" on it (supposedly) but it never ran it's course to some ending of understanding. I don't know what those early blocks had on them. I've never seen one up close (only a couple in cars and I had to stand behind ropes) https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/rolleyes.gif
