[MBZ] Roy Orbison's 600, collector auction report

[Rich Thomas]

Went for $74k at the auction this afternoon.  Was black/black, pretty 
nice shape.  Afterwards I talked to the woman who was selling it and she 
was a bit disappointed that it did not draw more.  Oh well.  She looked 
like she did not need the extra few $k. There was another 600, gold with 
an avocado/pea-green interior (I use the term avocado/pea-green instead 
of the baby product color it more closely resembled) that was also on 
the block, it was nicer shape but I missed what it went for, but I think 
it was much less than RoyO's, maybe in the 30s.  Both had TVs in the 
back, like 9" tubes.  Very Bond-ish.


A Bentley Turbo R, red/black, beautiful went for $12k.  That engine bay 
was crammed with motor and a turbo sitting at the top right front next 
to the alternator.  That did not look good to me, but all the bits were 
in good shape.  Would have been an interesting buy for no more than it 
went for.


A decent looking 64or5 230SL 4spd sold for $12k, about the right price, 
needed a bit of body/paint work but it was a pretty little car.


A '34 or so custom-bodied Deusy went for $1.375M, awesome car, I could 
see myself in it.  Take a week just to polish the chrome.  It sounded 
sweet too.


The tobacco-settlement lawyer who was selling a bunch from his 
collection bought that Jay Leno HD motorcycle with all the signatures on 
it for $1M, it was being recycled from some other charity thing (9-11?) 
it originally sold for to a Katrina charity.


Lots of 60s/70s muscle, some 50s stuff.  A 90? 560SEC went for $6k, 
looked nice, seemed to be running well, was in good shape.


I did not buy anything, though there was a blinged-out Hummer that 
looked really really nice.


Oh, and there were some Astons on display, I liked the black DB9 
convertible, though the interior color was sort of a blah papaya 
red/orange, and it looked awful for $188k.


Some people were parading around these large horses, Gypsy Vanners, that 
look like smaller Percherons, they had a colt that was very cute, and a 
breeding stallion that was extremely gentle.  I had been eating a candy 
cane, and noticed something breathing on my neck, I turned around and 
there was a big (huge) nose and mouth "RIGHT THERE" trying to get a 
sniff or a chunk.  Was too funny, like my dog trying to give kisses.  He 
was a bit big to do a belly rub, but he liked his chin scratched.

Not bad for the collection of someone who wore his prescription sunglasses
on stage one night because he'd lost his pair of regular glasses.  What did
Roy have, wasn't it a six octave range in his voice?

Re: [MBZ] Buying a car in GA and registering it in OK

[L . Mark Finch]

I suggest checking the Web sites of the Bureaus of Motor Vehicles in 
both states. You may find some information and even downloadable forms 
there.


A few months ago I bought a car in Florida to register in Indiana. I 
already knew what the Indiana requirements were -- a title and a bill 
of sale -- so I got those. Florida had a Web form for a bill of sale so 
I used that to make the seller feel better, but it could have been 
written on a cocktail napkin and met the legal requirements.


Before I left for Florida to pick up my car, I called my insurance 
agent and told him what I was up to. He mailed me a proof of insurance 
card, which I took with me, and I took along a current plate from one 
of my other cars for the trip home. That's not legal, but it made me 
feel better -- and if I had been stopped for some reason, I had enough 
documentation to prove that I was the legal owner of the car and that I 
was covered by insurance. Got home without incident, and the car is now 
legally registered.

Tom,

Check with the Ok DMV to make sure what paper work you will
need to have to get it Titled in Ok.
Just to be safe have the Seller get the Ga. Title Notarized when
you buy the car (DAMHIK).

What he said.  When I lived in West Virginia, we brought cars into the 
state from Mississippi and Missouri and registered them with no problem. 
 (Even out-of-state inspection stickers are valid in WV.)  When I 
bought my 300D in Ohio (and I lived less than a mile from the state 
line), I had to send the title back to the seller to be notarized.  No 
one could tell me why only Ohio titles have to be notarized, but that's 
the way it is.


So I guess the moral of the story is assume nothing when buying a car in 
another state.

I think someone on this list once described it as "the sound of serious
work getting done."  I agree that it's a nice sound, once you've gotten
used to it.

I always thought the 2.0L aircooled flat four in my VW Bus had a
particular music to it, as well, even if other people have compared the
sound of that engine to everything from a metal stamping plant to a keg
of nails being rolled down a staircase. ;)  With any engine, after a
while you learn when it sounds "right," and that sound takes on a
pleasant association.  Any change it it draws your attention.

Re: [MBZ] Buying a car in GA and registering it in OK

[Hans Neureiter]

Bottom line is, as long as you carry insurance on the vehicle (liability,
that is), it makes no difference what plates, if any.
And it is help full to be able to proof it is not stolen.
All states sell you a 30 day permit for a measly 20 bucks (+/-). Keeps all
the guesswork and 'he said'  out.

I think it's a sequentially-shifted transmission.  On that kind of
transmission, gear changes are manually commanded but the shifting
itself is done automatically.  F1 cars use these, with paddles or
buttons to command upshifts and downshifts.  Often there's even
automatic rev-matching on downshifts.

If you look carefully there are moments when you can see a big digital
display on the dash showing what gear the transmission is in.  It's on
the right side, near the 2 o'clock position on the wheel.  Most of the
time it's covered by the driver's hand or washed out by the sun, from
the camera's perspective.

I used left-over Diesel Purge, since I'd just finished doing a purge.
(On my VW I once used ATF.)  After maybe a dozen strokes of the primer
pump I had no more air coming out.  Tightened the banjo bolt and the car
started right up.

I poured the diesel from the old filter into a jar and looked at it.  It
had so much crap floating in it I didn't even want to put it back in the
tank, much less pour it into the new filter.

That's what I did when I bought a van in PA and drove it to MI.  To
handle the proof of insurance, I called up my insurance agent and gave
them the VIN, and they faxed an insurance binder to me immediately.

I probably could have gotten away without doing any of that, but it was
reassuring to know I was legal and had the paperwork to prove it.

I bought a 300 TD in Atlanta today and drove it to Mississippi with no tag
and just the paperwork you descrobed.  The lady said the tag belonged to
them, not the car and they can put it on the next car they buy.

I took the chance that it was either okay or the trooper would cut me some
slack.  I got home without a problem.

Re: [MBZ] sequester H2O vs disperse H2O (was fuel additive)

[Christopher McCann]

some additives claim to be water  sequester-ers...to me, this means that they 
SEPARATE the water out.  Water, being heavier than fuel, goes to the bottom 
where it nicely gets  sucked up by your fuel line. It seems that you would only 
want to  SEQUESTER if you have a water separator down the line...but if you 
have  a water separator down the line, what's the point of sequestering?
  
  A DISPERSANT disperses water...as in breaks it up into the fuel, I  think, 
right? In the summer, this is fine, it gets burned off in teeeny  amounts 
dispersed through the fuel. But in the winter, these little  water droplets can 
freeze and accumulate in the fuel filter, plugging  it. (I think the OM603 has 
a heater b4 the filter that would melt those  little ice balls and put you back 
to the "summer burn off scenario"
  
  Am I understanding this correctly?
  
  Thanks,

  In real cold weather where its below freezing all the time I use about  4oz 
of Diesel Kleen at every fillup. In New England temps vary WILDLY  so it might 
be 40F in the day time and 10F at night. Marshall says  water will condense 
into the tank any time temp drops 20 degrees so  Diesel Kleen gives me some 
water sequestering. It also raises the  cetane which makes cold starting easier.
 I noticed that Diesel  Kleen smells alot like Diesel Purge so I tried using it 
in larger  concentrations occasionally (like once every three months) to see if 
it  would mask Hammies failing injector(s) and it does. When the idle gets  bad 
I run him down to about 1/4 tank of fuel and put in a whole bottle  of Diesel 
Kleen (enough for 50 gallons), drive 30-40 miles and fill up.  Loping idle and 
hard starting disappears. I know its masking the  problem but its cheap...

Re: [MBZ] sequester H2O vs disperse H2O (was fuel additive)

I pour in GE OTR 8932Q (have enough to treat 4,000  gallons and to treat a 
whole tank full is about 12 cents) and don't  worry about it. BUT I am 
interested in how it works.
  PROMISE, I will NOT worry about it. Actually, I worried so little that  I 
didn't put any additive in at all when we went to -4 F. It was fine.  I was 
having too much fun with 1 foot of snow and the 1971 Case 222  Hydrive 
Snowcaster to worry! :-)

I think someone on this list once described it as "the sound of serious

used to it.

I always thought the 2.0L aircooled flat four in my VW Bus had a

Re: [MBZ] Buying a car in GA and registering it in OK

[OK Don]

When I bought my last car in Kansas, I drove home with the Kansas tag
on it, then mailed the tag back after I got the Oklahoma tag. I had
the PO notorize the title, even though there was no Kansas requirement
for it, took to the tag agent in OK with the bill of sale, and had no
problem at all. You have to drive that car when you get the tag - they
verify the VIN.

The sound of the old horizontal-opposed aircooled vw was a song with a 
message, just like the old folk tradition.


I can't tell you how many times I have been stuck next to an old V-dub 
at the light and thought, what a jerk,  he needs to gap his valves, tune 
his carb, do the 98 cent tune-up.


The old VW engine would give you everything if you just gave it routine 
maintenance, and it would sing a song of sorrow if you did not. I only 
gave up mine because I lived in a metro area and felt I needed more 
metal around me to protect my  life.


Maybe its time now to look for another old 'dub.

I know exactly what you mean.  I think a lot of people don't realize how
well they can run; they assume that a rough idle and boggy throttle
response is normal for those cars, when in reality they just need a
little TLC.

My Bus is really where I learned how to work on cars.  A VW is perfect
for that because it's simple and easy to work on, but requires frequent
attention.

I'd love to have a Ghia or a Beetle, but right now I don't have a good
place to work on cars.  An old VW is a money pit if you have to pay
someone else to work on it.  I gave up my Bus partly due to lack of
space to work on it, and partly because it was suffering from terminal
rust-out, thanks to having spend its entire life in Michigan.  When you
start getting snow drifts *inside* a vehicle, it's pretty far gone.

OK titles have to be notarized.

What he said.  When I lived in West Virginia, we brought cars into the 
state from Mississippi and Missouri and registered them with no problem. 
  (Even out-of-state inspection stickers are valid in WV.)  When I 
bought my 300D in Ohio (and I lived less than a mile from the state 
line), I had to send the title back to the seller to be notarized.  No 
one could tell me why only Ohio titles have to be notarized, but that's 
the way it is.


So I guess the moral of the story is assume nothing when buying a car in 
another state.

If you have an out of state title from a state that does not require 
titles to be notorized, then you dont have to have it notorized, just FYI.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:

What  should the timing be for the glow plug timer? When I turn the key,  the
light stays on for about 5 seconds and then goes out. I've checked  the
voltage across each glow plug and get 12vdc but only for that short  time
span. Is there an adjustment on the timing relay to extend the  time?
 
NOTE:  this only applies to cars up through 1980 which have external  
temperature sensors.  Starting in 81, the sensor was built into the glow  plug 
relay 
and measured ambient temperature.




If you diagnosis is correct and your glow plugs are turning off after 5  
seconds, you may have a bad relay.  There are no adjustments.  There  is a 
temperature sensor on the driver's side of the head (one of two) that you  
could 
disconnect and then try your timing test again.  (The other sensor is  for your 
engine temperature display, so no harm if both are disconnected for  this test) 
 
If the sensor has shorted, the timing will be the shortest  possible interval 
allowed by the components, if it is open (like disconnected)  the interval 
will be the longest.  NOTE:  I ran mine for years with  the sensor disconnected.
 
Try it, what can you loose?

  A DISPERSANT disperses water...as in breaks it up into the fuel, I  think, right? In the summer, this is fine, it gets burned off in teeeny  amounts dispersed through the fuel. But in the winter, these little  water droplets can freeze and accumulate in the fuel filter, plugging  it.

A water sequestering agent (like alcohol) BINDS the water and permits it 
to be burned in the engine.

[Mike Canfield]

A very good friend of mine has a Super Beetle with a hopped up 1600(which he 
built in a muddy driveway as he has no more than that so no excuses about 
noplace to work on a Vee Dub.) that will get rubber in second gear and is a 
BLAST to drive..Gotta love what can be done with them!

I know exactly what you mean.  I think a lot of people don't realize how
well they can run; they assume that a rough idle and boggy throttle
response is normal for those cars, when in reality they just need a
little TLC.

My Bus is really where I learned how to work on cars.  A VW is perfect
for that because it's simple and easy to work on, but requires frequent
attention.


The old VW engine would give you everything if you just gave it routine
maintenance, and it would sing a song of sorrow if you did not. I only
gave up mine because I lived in a metro area and felt I needed more
metal around me to protect my  life.

Maybe its time now to look for another old 'dub.


I'd love to have a Ghia or a Beetle, but right now I don't have a good
place to work on cars.  An old VW is a money pit if you have to pay
someone else to work on it.  I gave up my Bus partly due to lack of
space to work on it, and partly because it was suffering from terminal
rust-out, thanks to having spend its entire life in Michigan.  When you
start getting snow drifts *inside* a vehicle, it's pretty far gone.

[MBZ] Car Fax anyone?

[Donald Snook]

Can anyone run a car fax on this?  Thanks very much.

[Jerry Herrman]

Which one is the "banjo bolt"? What size wrench does it take?

Thanks,

Re: [MBZ] (no subject)

[Peter Frederick]

A "banjo bolt" is a hollow bolt that has a banjo shaped fitting under 
it with a hose of some type sticking out at a right angle.  Hard to 
miss.


Size depends on application -- the one for the turbo will be a 15 or 
17, I'd guess.  The ones on the IP are 17s if I remember correctly, and 
you must be careful, the inlet and outlet bolts are NOT the same -- the 
outlet has a very small hole in it and acts to pressurize the IP.  If 
you swap them, the engine won't run.

Oh, I'm perfectly happy to work on a car in an unsheltered parking lot.
 I've done it many times.  My landlord feels differently about it, though.

It'd look a lot better without the gangstalicious gold wheels.  Put some

Yeah, that's pretty ugly.

My favorite limo-for-sale post was one for a limo camper conversion.
The guy had taken the pop top off a VW Westfalia camper and installed it
on a Lincoln stretch limo.  It fit surprisingly well.  You could just
picture the guy with a limo and a VW in his driveway, looking from one
to the other while scratching his chin and going, "Hmm..."

Re: [MBZ] fuel additive

[Curt Raymond]

In real world terms I'm not, I'm using it to mask bad injectors, to raise the 
cetane level of the fuel and to clean the fuel system on a car which was abused 
before I got it. (the "new" 190D) I'd also thought it would sequester water but 
it looks like that isn't the case.
  Maybe this winter I'll try the supplement again. As the 190D has relatively 
new injectors its needs in an additive are different than the 240D.
