As requested, here is some additional information on the '79 Midget I
mentioned, last night. The current owner and I have been friends since
childhood (our parents were friends), and you can depend on whatever he
tells you to be true and accurate to the best of his ability and knowledge.
I'm sure hopeful that the '34 Plymouth gets bought by a classic car guy,
instead of some dumb grunt who thinks he's going to make a "street rod" out
of it. It's just too good to butcher like that.
Wray tells me that the Case tractor probably needs one new rear wheel, as
some of the calcium chloride leaked out of the tire and onto the wheel rim,
and ate it up a bit. He says it runs really well. I know that it has been
used as recently as a couple of years ago, to brush-hog the farm.
This'll be a very interesting auction.

1979 MG Midget. Car is complete and relatively rust free. Been in
storage last 10 years. Surface rust needs paint. seats fine. disk
wheels. Petronix. I went thru the engine and replaced all bearings, car
ran very well, gave it back to my 75 year old father who did not ever
get it inspected. Car will be sold at auction on 5/30 in Mercer, pa. No
reserve. Will need trailered. Good title. auction is at 340 Bestwick
Road, Mercer. From Mercer take 62 south towards Sharon about 1 mile.
Turn left past Ford dealer at Spring Valley golf course sign. Go 150
yards bear left at y on Bestwick.
Auction also includes at no reserve a running restorable 52 Case VAC
tractor and barn stored 34 Plymouth 2 door sedan that my family has
owned since the 50's. The Plymouth is a terrrific project, no rust dry
complete car. Also just found a vinatge luggage trunk to be mounted on
rear of 30's era car. Tons of antiques if you bring your wife.
Thanks for the lead Bud.
