Selling a car to someone in Sweden. Any advice suggestions or help on this process would be appreciated! :)

I may be selling a car to someone in Sweden. I could really use advice on what is needed, what to avoid, and how to make it happen. Any advice will be appreciated!....And NO the car is NOT a Ford! :)

Hey tubman! The ' xtra women ' comment is easy to explain. When I was young, I spent half of my money on women and booze.... the other half of my money I just wasted!

This is such an interesting subject ! First off, it comes up with many, many items, not just cars and parts. Almost any thing that is collectible. I believe that unless you are a dealer or semi dealer, quite often, what you paid for a part will probably be the most that part is ever going to...

Have read many books on " Henry " This subject was covered in several of the books, though not nearly to the depth of this article - great story.

There should be more of this!!!!!

I am not taking sides, but I can tell you this....If you punch " pure gas " into your computer, a page will come up, state by state, where you can buy real gas. One tip is that, in looking at the station's octane ratings, real regular, will show the lower octane numbers. In Wisconsin, I...

The first car I ever drove was my dad's 51 Merc 4 door. No , I didn't have a drivers license, I was only 15. I will turn 75 on my next birthday- you do the math !

Check out the rear view mirror in the last picture of the 37. It's a big square thing ???

A very neat stop in Elkhart, is the Vintage RV Motor-Home Hall of Fame. You can pull up their site, and check them out. They are on the Indy Turnpike. It is a really cool place. You will also be close to Auburn, Indiana. You will need days for that stop ! A.C.D. Museum, and right behind that is...

You will need to jack up the car, remove the rear end as a unit, then remove the transmission. there are bolts that attach the transmission to the engine block. You will need to pull up the floor mat, put the trans in neutral, remove the floor shift lever, and disconnect the shaft of the throw...

My good buddy has a 1934 Lincoln..... and a 37..... and a 39.....and a 67 4 door convertible, and he's not that way. He even lets me park next to him at car shows ! He probably does look down at me though, but I think it's because I have a Standard, instead of a Deluxe....... Did I mention he...

Great news! replace a differential?, or replace a brake drum? I'll take replacing the brake drum every time!- I'm following your Merc. progress with interest! I also, had 2 1953 Mercurys. A custom hardtop, my first car, bought in 1959, out of the last row at Hub Chrysler, in Milwaukee, for...

My Dad had a 1953 Caddy. It had Goodyear ' Double Eagle ' Tires. The tubes were like the ones above. The guys at the filling station hated it when he need a tube repaired or changed. They were supposed to be a safety feature. All this took place 57 years ago so I hope my memory serves!

I had the windshield in my 1939 Standard, replated about 5 years ago. The shop is located in Richmond Va. I think I paid $225. They are an average shop, that I feel, is very reasonable. They do not like to do much repair work. If you pick out a really good shop, the price will be much higher
