Chevrolet Manual MB-C1

So far it's no bids at the starting price of $40, but still almost a week to go.

For some reason, this one is much more sought after!

There are 6 bidders chasing "this one" so that will leave 5 to chase the other one in a days time.

Wow, it's gone berserk!:blink:

Sheer Stupidity
 

Hi all - at the moment $182.50. The highest bidder has absolutely no clue. My maximum price when I can get them is $60.

Bob

Whoa.........must be signed by the author himself!
 

I'm with you Bob.

Learned early on to be patient & lateral thinking with searches & it pays off.....eventually.

I only paid $45.00 for the Ford Service Bulletins book/manual. Still can't get the smile of my face :D

this one was a goodie
 

bugger I missed it though.
I've never seen one before, An RAAF publications No.456 MB-C2 manual.

Pictorial history of ford Australia
 

This is a good book, I have a copy in my library. Has a chapter on WW2 and after and includes pics and info on Blitz and carriers etc.

I bought it Ryan! :drunk:

A bit far away, but it worth!

Kostas.

Norm Darwin book
 

I have a copy somewhere too. I remember there were some problems with titles being swapped around and a CGT being used instead of a Ford.

You'll get an MB-F1 and MB-C2 for free at canadianregister.co.uk

The value for money of the manuals at the Canadian Register is superb, but they do not include all sections (at least when I downloaded, before acquiring so many originals). For example, they didn't originally scan the sections for the winch. The reason I was given was that the most popular/needed sections had been scanned.

Army crates
 

Whilst not specifically blitz I thought someone may be interested in these for use as props or more practical purposes.

No relationship to the seller

Thanks Graeme,

The contact is well know in Auzzie Military circles.

It is Tim Vibert in Wangarratta.

Blitz Dash
 

Hi all - minimum of $400 to restore with new switches plus $230 to restore the temperature gauge if not working plus the purchase price. Very expensive exercise for those not in the know.

:teach: Bob

This Dash was offered again at the middle of July with no success..

Instrument Panel Etc..
 

Could be worth having for the instrument pod

Instument Panel Ebay
 

Not at $US74 postage.

Bob

Postage too high
 

You gotta get a bit wiley with your negotiating! Postage too costly? It sure is..........but here's what you do:

Contact the seller. Tell them you only want the instruments or whatever it is you are interested in. If 'buy it now' is acceptable to you, tell them they can keep the rest & relist, give em away or whatever they want to do with them. Ask about a revised postage cost for the greatly reduced weight and bulk of the pod alone.

Done this several times with success & struck a fair deal each time.

If they are not interested..........well you lost nothing and maybe you will word the email proposal better next time.

:cheers:

Re. Postage
 

Hi Tony - well aware of bartering. What I have to watch though is the initial aquisition costs so I can keep costs down to my clients. I just spoke to a guy who had an Internationl KB4 panel restored for $1000. He was a bit pissed off when I told him my costs were between $300-$400. Similarly another guy had a speedometer rebuilt for many hundreds of dollars and it still does not work. My price would have been about $100. And with all my stuff, if it breaks down I fix it for free.
