Barn Find - Anything weather beat or found in a field is now labeled Barn Find

100% Original - Repainted, restored, incorrect engine, incorrect transmission and custom wheels.

Ready for Paint - Needs full restoration including body panel replacement.

NOS - Any part, new, used or reproduction.

Fresh Restoration - $500.00 and a case of beer paint job and some PEP Boys Futura tires.

Anything advertised in Kentucky . It’s been hacked to death by somebody’s hill billy brother in law or cousin in a shed that specializes in side job work on everything from bodywork to concrete . All the cheapest of everything has been used down to the valve stem caps .

Do you buy motor oil?

It used to bother me, then I heard someone say motor with a strong New England accent. Sometime I call them motors in the same way - I get a little chuckle.

No, this is like a Man Woman thing or like one of those racial slurs that can only be made by one race, but not another race.

So there can be a engine that's called a motor, but you can never call a electric motor a electric engine. The only engine that you can't call a motor is a steam engine. Apparently a steam external combustion is free of prejudice, however a rocket engine is in the dog house with the guy who has a motor of a wife.

WOW!!!, finally someone who agrees with me!!! The word "motor" irritates me in reference to an engine.

I've heard the argument it is General MOTORS too. But that don't make it right! LOL It does have a starter motor, blower motor, wiper motor, etc though.

LOL

So then what is this typically called?

[DanC]

A POS listed for say $6000 and the person says worth $20k when restored. My thought is, go ahead and restore it then and make the big bucks

[dhcarguy]

Totally agree on "motor" ...it's an ENGINE
More commonly used..."all original" New paint, Some trim parts replaced with repros., incorrect wheels, upgraded radio and speakers., front seat covers replaced. (this one is the most debated with me)
"Rare"..........really

[locomotivebreath]

Or 95% finished - it’s either missing all the important hard to find parts , or still needs both quarters and paint .

Locomotivebreath I love your signature. Great song!

RAN WHEN PARKED. S#@**&%!

[NBF823]

I like how they say its rare, when there are other examples currently for sale.
