Re: What are you buying, What's on its way?

Because I only have 4 motor vehicles taking up three garage spaces right now, and I need more projects, we’re heading to South Dakota at the end of the month to pick up a mostly-complete 1917 Dort (might be 1918 based on the serial number), another 1920? parts donor frame/engine/most-of-a-front-body, and a large pile of loose parts, including a completely rebuilt original Lycoming K engine. We’ll bum around the black hills for few days with the kids, then trailer the car back behind a box truck.

I’ve talked to the seller on the phone a few times. He apparently has long COVID symptoms and can’t work on them anymore.

I paid the same amount for my partially complete 1921 Dort two years ago (I blew up the engine in that one last year), so this seems like a pretty good deal. I think I can easily frankenstein one nice car out of all this stuff and the stuff I already have.

Now I’m on the hunt for a storage unit or maybe a garage space I can rent long-term to do all of this work.
