I know a guy near Dayton selling a rebuilt 359 for $5k.
Not Aldrich, FYI. I'll send his phone number if you are interested.

I asked earlier, but I still don't see a photo. Try pulling out the glovebox drawer, then take a photo of the RH side of the glovebox drawer. For 1954 Caribbeans, the original factory colors and other info are usually attached there by stickers or labels. Thanks.

Thanks for checking on me...
No. Not yet. Lots of unknowns with a car that has been sitting for 10 years+ Still planning to make an offer...... This will most likely be a driver and 327 swap. The deal comes with a spare engine (327) Still cant seem to find the paint combo on any internet phiotos or on any factory paint combo listings. I will update the thread when I have more info.

If you remember minimum wage being increased to $1.15, you better hurry up and make and offer and bring that Caribbean home!!! ![]() There will be lots of unknowns, and if it's going to be a driver you'll want to go through everything any way. As long as everything is there and rebuildable you're good to go! BTW, having a driver is the way to go!!!

The reference to the $1.15 minimum wage in the previous post reminded me of this story which I believe had been posted here a number of years ago but is still worth a laugh:
The Ohio Department of Labor claimed a small town Packard mechanic was not paying proper wages to his help and sent an agent out to investigate him. Agent: "I need a list of your employees and how much you pay them." Shop owner: "Well, there's my trainee who's been with me for 3 years. I pay him $200 a week plus free room and board." "Then there's the mentally challenged worker. He works about 18 hours every day and does about 90% of all the work around here. He makes about $10 per week, pays his own room and board, and I buy him a bottle of bourbon every Saturday night so he can cope with life. He also sleeps with my wife occasionally." Agent: "That's the guy I want to talk to... the mentally challenged one." Shop owner: "That would be me."

That's me, with the exception that I can't afford to buy any bourbon because I spent all my money on car parts!
