1971 Pagoda Project for Sale (car is gone)
« on: May 08, 2024, 02:11:58 »
Dear Friends,

New Price:  How about $10 and come and get it. My home has sold I got to move on.

Recently I posted that I needed to sell my 1971 Pagoda project as I had to admit that I was just too old to finish.  That sale went very well and the car will go to Sydney, Australia this week.  With the car going so far, the buyer does not need all the support equipment that I used to bring my project as far as I did.  I now want to help equip the next Pagoda fan with the stuff they will need for a complete restoration.

I still have the original 4.09 ratio rear axle and the original fuel tank.  No way to take those on the car carrier taking the car to Los Angeles.  Also, I have 4 Bundt wheels with tires.  I have 2 sets of hubcaps, one in Tunis Beige and the other in a medium blue most are good, a couple with curb damage.  I have the rack to hold the hardtop on the ground.  I also have the hoist system and the proper straps for hanging the hardtop from the ceiling of a garage.

I have a heavy-duty steel rotisserie with the proper attachment brackets for the Pagoda body.  Then I have a 2-ton engine crane with multiple nylon straps that allows you to safely lift most anything, engines and bodies.  I have an engine mount on wheels to hold the engine while out of the car.  There is an Eastwood MIG 175 welder with cart and gas bottle plus welding helmets, clothing and other support equipment.  There is a large Husky floor-mount air compressor and smaller 20-gallon Pro-Air compressor plus many air tools, impact wrenches and various hoses.  There is a set of 4 Tire Wheel Dollies to help move the project around the garage.

Then there is a good-sized media blasting cabinet plus a larger media blaster with protective equipment.  For serious work, I have a 20-gallon Sand Blaster with the protective helmet and clothing.  I have a working Jenn-Air oven that can be used to cure parts with powder coat.  I have a 12-ton hydraulic press that you cannot do without for forming many things.  For serious metal cutting there is a 14-inch Chop Saw.  There is a 20-piece ¾” drive metric socket set with ratchet and breaker bar.

Also, I want to add a 6” Duracraft bench grinder, a bench mounted metal shear, a heavy-duty bench vice, a metal shrinker, a metal stretcher, and a vintage Delta Milwaukee bench drill press.  How about needing a serious wet or dry garage vacuum.  There are several corded angle grinders, corded electric drill and other corded hand tools.

I have used Eastwood to supply nearly all the rattle-cans of the metal prep spray, primers, paints and other specialty sprays.  I have many new cans and some partial cans on the shelf that are still good to use.  As you can imagine, there is lots of other stuff that I have no future use for that needs to find a new home.

Somewhere along I picked up a 10-foot by 17-foot Portable Garage from Harbor Freight that is still in the box, never been used.

I have been really surprised that the buyer of the car could not or did not take any of this stuff with him, so I now need to move all this stuff quickly.  This is all located in the basement of the house that I built 44 years ago near Atlanta, GA.  This home has been rented to another family for the last three years and is now listed for sale.

I do not have a clue as to what this is worth but to move it now, I want to offer it to another Pagoda lover for $1500 or best offer, if it can be cleared out by the end of May.  While the rotisserie is flexible in size to accommodate most vehicle sizes, it may require a flat-bed trailer as one end is welded to the side rails.

Contact me a 770-401-6677 or howard.long@ymail.com.

Garry,

I did put a price of $1500 or best offer for everything.  I am sorry if it was in a paragraph and maybe unclear.

It’s a hell of a deal for someone just starting their first restorations.
