80 Engines SOLD Middletown, NJ
Hey where I live a fellow named Fitzgerald (first name Bob I think) recently died. He did motorhome repair work on Leaonardville Road in Middletown, N.J.
He had many cars but was known to collect Model A's by the bunch. I was told someone bought 80 engines from his estate. There is still a bunch of stuff on the property, but the family locked things up for right now as they had to attend to other matters. Just ASKING....anyone here know about this? |

Re: 80 Engines SOLD Middletown, NJ
There was a man that live near me named Llloyd. He'd but estate stuff like that too. However, Lloyd would always tell the caller if I but the ot I but everything, and if you wanna start picking pieces out of it I am not interested in a deal.

Re: 80 Engines SOLD Middletown, NJ
That nearly makes me cry. I was recently looking for an engine to rebuild but gave up. There were none to be had and I've not heard of one for a long time now. It's a very different scene over there, obviously.

Re: 80 Engines SOLD Middletown, NJ
If You're still chasing one or five, I have a small collection, around thirty, contact me. I never thought that they would be worth advertising.

Re: 80 Engines SOLD Middletown, NJ
I suspect more correctly stated, 'An estate collection of Model A parts was recently sold which included 80 engines'.
In this case it was sold at a 'take it all' price. The real kicker was that the engines in question where stored in a basement! |

Sold locally in NJ. I doubt Bert's would have paid to ship that many boat anchors to Denver.
