a speed parts collector sent in a couple photos to Rodders Journal... wow, what a stash!


a set of Ardun heads... man.. that's hard to guess how long he waited to find a set for sale


intakes on either side of quick change center sections


instrument panels, flatheads, banjo steering wheels...


and more intakes and carbs... wow. This is not just a great collection, but a great presentation.

Thanks to Carl Tregler in Erie Pennsylvania!

the discarding of Lancasters and other Canadian Military airplanes after VE day


On September 24 the squadron took off for the final leg of its trip. Destination was Pearce, Alberta, from where the Lancasters were to be sold off or destroyed. This leg has been described by one participant as 'how World War II came to the Prairies.' Once out of Winnipeg, the gaggle of Lancasters set about terrorizing the countryside between there and Pearce. Aircraft, even as big as they were, flew under telegraph wires; one, flew so low it over a farm, it collided with a barnyard duck. Another pilot buzzed a train and recalls his last impression as seeing the startled look of disbelief on the engineer's face as he pulled down his blind!"

On arrival at their final destination, the planes were sold for scrap, although some were also burned on site. Trainers were offered in flyable condition. $800 would buy you a Cornell or a Crane. For $900 you could walk away with a Harvard. Anson V's sold for $5000, and a Canso (PBY Catalina to Americans) commanded $25,000.

'Barnyard bombers' were well worth the fifty dollars asking price. To begin with, a farmer could count on recouping his investment by simply draining gas and antifreeze from his plane. Tires were just fine for a farm wagon. A tailwheel fit the wheelbarrow.

 For years to come the carcass would be a veritable hardware store of nuts and bolts, piping and wiring. In the meantime it made a suitable chicken coop for storage shed. One farmer converted the nose of his Anson into a snowmobile. Bit Waco gliders were hauled away just for their packing cases.

Alex and Sandy need help finding a Frontenac SR overhead cam and a 1909 Phoenix rear axle for a 2 cylinder 8/10hp


We appreciate any help in tracking down a Frontenac SR overhead cam. We have attached a couple of photographs that show what we need. The cam sits on top of the towers which are part of a plate located on top of the cylinder head, and then there are the gears and chain drive on the front of the block.


That Phoenix is frustrating, since a stranger offered one years ago to Alex at Beaulieu (England vintage car swap meet)  before we found that car, when he was looking for a different Phoenix axle. Ads through the Veteran Car Club and a lot of personal inquiries to re-connect with that man have not helped. What we need is the rear axle for a chain drive 1909 2-cyl Phoenix 8/10hp.
(Alex and Sandy got this 1909 Phoenix but all there was left from a 100 years of neglect was the engine, radiator, and frame)

if you can help, or have a tip toward some source that might be able to help Alex and Sandy with their Phoenix or Frontenac, please email them at Phoenixphanciers@att.net

Years ago a Dodge dealership would sell you one for 5 bucks, in the 1990's, it was Koller Dodge.http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2008/03/around-1996-koller-dodge-was-mopar.html It seems though, that this dealership was not on the correct political side of the kill zone when the dealerships were slated for death during the 2010 or 2011 great bankruptcy of the Chrysler GM upheaval. Because they were whatever, and the people that got to put them on the chopping block were the other, 95% of the dealerships were whatever political party that wasn't in power. I have a terrible memory for details, like the name of the great Mopar guy with the black Demon that I just saw again at Mopars at the Strip. He filled me in, I forgot a lot. But I remembered the important stuff, like how to get the PDF of the entire original factory parts books! Compliments to Mopar people! We're the best! 

Swaybar weight reduction by Hellwig, went to tubular construction for larger diameter

I was just reading Mopar Muscle, April 2012 issue, and they have an article on the wieght reduction of a 1968 Valiant.

The tubular antisway bar is both stiffer and lighter than a solid bar

cool display at one end of the Long Beach Motorama of speed parts and memorabilia







this is one hell of a cool collection, and that some guys went to the effort and risk of having it sit on display is amazing

the Rambler catalog of 1909 included pages of parts that you could order, in a very user friendly, organized way






 Look at the goofy flying wing looking front fenders in that bottom car. That's nuts








I would love to have these in 2x3foot posters for my garage, but even cooler would be similar photos of the parts and part numbers of the Mopar blow up drawings relevant to my 69 Coronet R/T, and coincidentally, I know that I have a full set, but in a catalog, and not blown up to the size I'd like. Not yet. Koller Dodge sold a catalog for the restoration parts business that they did on the side, their main business was new car sales.
