I picked up a car on an online auction, I was bidding on an Iver Johnson and this car was closing first lost track of the bike and ended up with a 1974 Chevy Chevelle Lagun S-3. The bike was real nice. The car has a 400-2 but the previous owner changed out manifold for a 4 barrel.

It's sort of a sleeper or a moms car.

1983 cabbage patch kids bike from the trash and they finally took my offer on this crazy Mercury that’s been up forever with crazy NOS tires.

My best news of the week was three years clear from the throat cancer.
Also another pair of Morgan & Wright tires for the tyre pile.
And this cushion tire Iver - Lovell. Cool that it still has the original tires. A heap of paint removal is ahead in future!

Nothing bike related for me, but an opportunity I never thought would happen. Found and bought a car almost identical to my high school car that I sold in 1995 after my first son was born. A 1970 Chevelle SS 396 in fathom blue. It's a 4 speed car, all #'s matching with a build sheet. It's been in storage since 1979 but the buy I bought it from got it running. This winter will be a mechanical rebuild and ready to cruise next summer. Pretty stoked and can't wait to rip into it!

Brought this late 41 Snyder built Hawthorne home this week. It's had some work done previously...and is definitely going to need more. Lol

Stamp is almost too light to read.

Had to put grips, tires and pedals on. Temporarily installed a Rollfast badge on it....until I figure out what I want to do with it.

Make sure you remove those headers and put the smog pump back on it.

Finally got a pierce chainless thanks to @bikesnbuses.

Also went to a train show today and picked up a couple of new cars some pictures and a diecast truck I absolutely had to have.

Found this 24" prewar schwinn thank you @Hastings for help with acquisition and a great job shipping! Not sure what to do with this. The fork looks really wrong to me, so maybe BMX contender?
