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.

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! |

Re: 80 Engines SOLD Middletown, NJ
Sold locally in NJ. I doubt Bert's would have paid to ship that many boat anchors to Denver.

Re: 80 Engines SOLD Middletown, NJ
Brent,
you do realize if you donate your body to science, the funeral could be cut down to 15 minutes (memorial) and the fun would begin much more quickly? LOL |
