Well guys, no one seems very interested in what I have. So here it is, you pay shipping and handeling and it is yours. 95% of this is new. Use what you need and resell the rest. Alvin stadel, 406-855-7362,  awstadel@gmail.com

This subject has come up before but Im afraid the old car hobby mainly for the home hobbyist not the million dollar builders is slowly disappearing, I have taken the same stuff to local swap meets and end up bringing it home I finally loaded it up and took it all to scrap, I will hang on to my two cars my 57 Ranchero and 65 Mustang K code fastback until I can't drive them anymore but as far as hanging onto parts and trying to sell them Im also done with that.   The last swap meet i went to had more and more empty stalls with a lot of the vendors and participants using canes and walkers, I have also noticed the 30,40 and 50s cars are sitting on the market not bringing the money they use to, the 60 and 70s muscle cars are doing much better especially Mustangs, if you go on bring a trailer regular the run of the mill 65-66 coupes are bringing 20-30k, Times are a changin whether we like it or not.

I had the same issue when family situation prevented little or no shop time.  The completed cars just sat, no time to do the right thing by them.  Sold the whole lot!  Guy that bought the retractable took all my "spare" parts, took two trips with a 250 long bed and a trailer to get it all!  Don't miss any of it, happy it is all gone!  Did get nervous with no project, that's how the 56 Crown came home. The 61 Comet is the first complete driver, so as things settle out with my wife's medical issues I will have "shop time" again.....:<)

I've got 65 Mustang Gt Coupe that I bought 39 years ago. Its a very descent car but not restored. I had a friend ask about buying it a couple of months ago and when I told my wife she had a fit that I didn't need to sell it. Its probably a $28 or $30K car, we could pre-pay funerals for both of us (we have no insurance). She'll probably wish someday that I sold it when I had the opportunity. I also had a standing offer for my 57 for the last five years but I now think that offer is no longer on the table ,I wasn't ready to let it go . we're both 75 now and still healthy but who knows for how long? Happy New Year to all!

Guess I'm one of the last of a dying breed I still do these old Fords for me and I don't have millions, I'm a DIY guy with a nice shop to work in.

Very nice shop. If I had it, I'd still be working on mine when needed.

FYI...for those who are still interested in some of the items in his package, I will be happy to pass the stuff on that I do not need. Convertible things for instance.
Let me go through the collection and then I'll post a list. Same deal he offered...shipping only.

Shop stays busy with me and a couple friends, I can get 4-5 vehicles inside. She worse than me in the tools stores. Lucky to have a wife supports me in the hobby and is always why don't your get a lift, a transmission jack etc.  claims it keeps me moving.
