I just have to sit here and laugh about this one. I bought a big box of new parts yesterday. I sold a new Farmall H and M starter that was in there,but there was a water pump and two fuel pumps in there,new in the box that I had no idea on. I just ran the numbers though the computer.

The water pump is for a 59-60 Edsel,one fuel pump fits a 55-60 Pontiac and the other fits a 59-61 Mercury. I guess if anybody ever needs one,I'm in the cat birds seat. LOL

to the right person ..........$$$$$$$

I'll probably die of old age before I find that person though. I told some guys when they were selling that stuff that you had to be looking for it to know what some of that stuff fit. I was sure right about that. LOL

I don't know how much selling you do on ebay but that would be THE right place to get rid of them. Start them at $8 and let them sort out their value.

I don't have any experience with it at all,buying or selling. Wanna buy them cheap and take your chances? LOL

Randy leave it in the box you bought it in. Then someone else can buy it at your auction in the future!!!

I think we all should start marking the boxes we buy at auctions. Then we could see now many times that box of "stuff" gets sold. LOL

My kids all talk about hiding for six months after I die so they do not have to help get my collection of "stuff" ready for an auction.

That's exactly what I told some of the Oliver guys at that big Oliver auction here two weeks ago. I said we'd take this stuff home,leave it lay and it'd sell at our auctions some day. LOL
I'm pretty sure Dale and Ron bought a lot of that Oliver stuff at auctions over the years too.

Try contacting Gilmore car museum, near Kalazamoo, Mi. They may be able to help you with those treasures. If anyone ever has the opertunity to go there you should spend the day there. They do have limited showings during winter months.

I had a hard time locating a fuelpump for a '47 Plymouth flathead 6 cyl. recently, lots of those engines made and fuelpumps are rare? Just making a point that you have scored some good vintage part$.

If you want those out of your shop I am more than happy to give you what you paid for them. Restoring old cars is a big hobby in the Detroit area what with the annual Dream Cruise and all. Pretty sure I could make a fast buck on them. I am cleaning out my old shop with decades of auction treasures that I no longer need. Some stuff I am moving into the new shop but a lot of stuff is being sold. I could just add yours into the mix. Or you could do it yourself and cut out the middleman.

Buy some more boxes and do the Johnny Cash thing, build a car one piece at a time!

Randy, EBay can be your friend.
I've sold scads of stuff on there
and had a ball doing it; great
winter pastime. gm

Just took a peek at eBay, they have new water pumps for 59 60 Edsel from $79-$132.

If you're up this way in your travels and want those things for $10 each Dave,stop in and pick them up.
