Cars, trucks and boats; Cleaning out my Dad's yard

I'll post up the links to craigslist listings, some of the prices may be listed above $2013 but that's mostly so the price can come down. If you see something in the background that catches your eye, let me know as most of the yard art will be going up for sale sometime soon.

Clean 1975 Ranchero, can let it go for under $2013

Most of a 1956 F100, was just guessing on a price here If you have a better idea what it's worth, let me know

Most of a 1998 F150, again I was just guessing on a price The straight clean bed has to be worth a couple hundred by itself, right?

I've also got a caddy big block and short tailshaft TH400 listed, the guy we got it from said it was a 472, turns out it is actually a 425. It's listed for $850, does that sound reasonable?

I've got a clean 20-something foot Sea Ray boat that I'll be listing as soon as I get some more details on it and a bunch of LBC's (I have problems telling them apart even when they aren't covered in weeds).

Complete list to date:

Mk3 MR2 15" wheels - sold

Mk1 MR2 14" wheels -

1956 Ford F100 Rat Rod project -

1975 Ranchero 351W -

1998 F-150 parts truck -

1993 Honda civic parts car -

Caddy 425 engine and short TH400 trans -

i think you might be lucky to get $200 for the 425 caddy engine, nobody wants them. kinda sad really, lots of torque and decent mileage.

is that an isuzu npr behind the f150?

Oh, tell me about the lbc's. you are literally down the road from me. I'd be game to come shopping.

What he said, my old man has been itching to get a hold of a not driveline forever.

I'll drop the price down on the caddy engine when it comes time to renew, I was hoping the short TH400 on it would make it worth something. If no one buys it though it will end up going into one of the rat rod projects.

Yes that big truck is an isuzu, but the engine is missing. The previous owner had a SBC in there anyway. The frame and cab are there but I'm pretty sure someone already snatched the rear axle. It's for sale too if anyone wants it.

There is probably a dozen or so LBC's in various states of rotting around the yard, I don't have an exact inventory yet, trying to clear enough of a path to make walking through there easy. I've heard word's like MGB, MGC and tiger thrown around, I know there was a semi-decent alfa out there somewhere a year or so ago.

listed a set of wheels that were taking up space in the garage. This must be some kind of special wheels because there was 4 matching ones unlike all the other sets of 3 I've found lol.

Mk1 MR2 wheels

There's a couple MGA's in coupe and convertible flavor, a disassembled triumph stag and an 69 Alfa Duoetta boattail (no title) out there. The spridgets and MGB's apparently already have homes planned for them and I think the berkley and the tiny thing parked next to it will stay for now. I'll keep snapping more pics and listing stuff as space opens up in the yard.

I think I need to write "I do not need an MGA" 1000 times before I do something stupid.

Those are actually MK3 rims and great deal to boot. Why do relevant and useful deals always pop up when you're unable to do anything! Gah!

You and me both.

Same with the stag.

You could take the last train to Clarksville and meet him at the station. You may even have time for coffee flavored kisses and a bit of conversation.

Whew... I'm punchy today. I better go sit down.

My dad's place is in southern Maryland, not in Clarksville. I guess I should change my location since I'll be here for a while lol.

What is the condition of the cab and interior on the NPR. Lots of NPR's came with the the 350 chevy from the factory, mine did.

I want that pickup truck.

I want that pickup truck.

You are too far away.

Not sure about the current market rate, but I do know that the 56 Ford pickups tend to be the most valuable of the 53-56 F-100s, due to the larger, one year only windshield. The holy grail is the big back window version, which you do not have. You may be able to bump that price up a bit.

Eh? How many. California marylands are there? Not that southern md is far. And I could stick things in the inlaws ditches down there.

Ohhhh those wheels!

any odd ball cars or motorcycles/scooters/mopeds? diesel engines?

The cab and the interior are in great condition, I can try to upload some pics somewhere soon. We were thinking of making a rollback out of it but there are too many projects out here already.

I think we only have oddball stuff lol. Motorcycles don't take up a lot of space so they can hang out for a bit until the weather gets warmer and the market gets better.

Listed a few more this morning

These have to be Mk1 MR2 wheels

Most of a 1993 civic sedan

I've got some pics of the NPR cab up, let's see if this works

March 8, 2013

Can you just walk around and shoot random car pics?

Looks like a GRMer's dream yard.

I just looked at how far California MD is from me and it is a little far to travel otherwise I would be interested in the NPR cab.

How cheap would it have to be to make you interested in the drive? I really need some room out here and this thing takes up some space.

Is the NPR missing its' rear axle?

Yes and the engine/trans. I'm fairly certain it also has no title.
