60's electric Corvair Greenbriar van that was used in the underground
roads of the US government in DC. The van was rust free, but had lots
of dings & dents from over the years. I turned it down.

Last November AT&T in my area switched from dial up analog to dial up digital. WebTV is strictly dial up analog only. So, I called Comcast. Now I have Comcast triple play,,, telephone and TV and Internet. Yep, cuhulin, nowadays is Dhia Duit.

I cant give you first hand knowledge, but it should be no worse than
gasoline or diesel,
and actually should be considerably better. You have no liquid phase of LP
gas, or essentially
none, nor is there a highly aromatic content (effect on aniline point) to
muck with the
rubber.
If anyone has a concise answer, let's hear from you.

Also, bearings in water pump, alternator (or generator, if it's never
been converted) etc. are all suspect.

I took my couch buddy doggy to the vet this morning, on the way there and back home I passed right by that propane place.I didn't see that 1964 Chevrolet van sitting in that open shed where it had been there for at least three years. I think I will forget all about that van.I own a 1948 Jeep I ought to be working on.

In the last issues of the two mags I get that print auction results I
have been floorboarded at the prices some of the cars have been
getting. There have been several where the sales price has been
around twice the "typical" selling price. Just a year ago it was
common to see them go for less then the typical price. And some of
these cars don't even strike me as all that desirable yet they are
selling for prices approaching 100K.

Watching Desert Car Kings right now on Comcast Xfinity Velocity TV channel. They are fixing up a 1950 Studebaker car. The same program comes on TV again this afternoon at 3:00 PM CST.One of those guys found an old water cooler/air conditioner that mounts on a window. He said it could be worth more than the car. I am just glad that some people are fixing up/restoring those old cars regardless of what they sell for.

being sold for mega-bucks, and every car is a "gold mine". Old Chrysler
Corp. cars from the 40's and early 50's go for peanuts in the real world,
because unless you REALLY want one, you will never get your money back on a
restoration.

1963 I was in Army Nike Hercules Nuclear Missiles at Scott Air Force Base,Illinois and near Pacific,Missouri. At a used car dealer in Saint Louis I paid $75.00 for a 1950 Dodge car. That car ran good, hardly any rust and the body had no dents on it. I have owned a lot of other cars and a few trucks and vans that nowadays would be worth a lot of money if sold at Mecum auction and similar auctions. All of the vehicles I ever bought before and the vehicles I own now I bought them second hand. Except for a bicycle I bought new in the 1950's I have never bought any new vehicles.
