CADILLAC: 1972 Eldorado Convertible. Red with red leather. White top with glass rear window. All options including hard parade boot cover. Garaged since new. From the estate of my father who is the second owner. 130,000 miles (approx) total.

Two tach drive Corvette distributors. One for a 1972 LS-5 454cid Corvette, calibration number 1112051 but without it's ID band. The second unit is for a 1969 350/350 Corvette, calibration number 1111493 with it's OEM band. Both were fully rebuilt to "as new" condition with GM NOS parts and functional within ±1 degree of book spec timing figures  at the advertised RPM ranges about 10 years ago. They were never used and went into storage in the GM boxes taken from new distributors I bought back then for the customers cars these were removed from. They appear to be in the same condition now as when packed and include new caps, rotors, points, and leads in addition to new main shafts, cross shafts and many other small parts. They are ready to install. I want $550.00 for the 454 un-branded distributor and $800.00 for the banded unit.

PONTIAC

1 set of convertible top bows from a 1965 GTO. Also will  fit a '64 / '65 CHEVROLET Chevelle,  Malibu, BUICK Skylark, Special, GranSport, and OLDSMOBILE F-85, Cutlass of similar years. I've stored these top bows and cylinders since the late 1970's thinking I'd need them for my car someday. That need hasn't come to pass so it's time to let them go to someone who might be restoring or building a car. They are straight and all the pivots still move. The weather stripping is shot or has been removed as has the top cover itself. The cylinders are OK physically; I/E no dents or damage to the shafts but condition leak wise is unknown. There is minor rust on the header which goes across the windshield but it is structurally sound and could be restored easily. The top latches are there and would work fine but need re-chroming on the engaging hardware. One retraction cable is missing but can be obtained NOS at www.convertibletopguys.com for about $25.00. They also can provide weatherstripping and other parts related to the top consumable pieces. I'd like $800.00 for the bows and cylinders. Photos available.

OUTBOARD BOAT MOTORS:

SEA KING model VWB19074B Serial #15017. Six horsepower. Two stroke. Like new condition with original gas tank fitted with new lines / priming pump. Can start and run on site for demonstration. Great motor for small fishing or utility boat. $300.00 or Best offer. Photos are available.

EVINRUDE SPORTWIN model #4428 Serial #31134. Vintage motor likely 1940's mfg date and of unknown horse power but I'd guess about 3 or 4. Ran well when last used many years ago but recoil starter now won't engage so cannot test. Fuel tank is clean and prop is OK. Nothing broken off and controls all work fine. Sold "as is" $200.00 or Best offer. Photos are available.

CATERPILLAR  D-4 BULLDOZER: 

1 Partially restored D4 project bulldozer w/spares and accessories. This tractor was removed from regular service pushing street trenching asphalt debris for the first owner in about 1980. The second owner fully serviced it in 1981 and was going to use it gold mining but never made it out to the fields. He started and moved it around his yard every few months until the pony engine gas tank got water in it about 1996-8. His general ill health prevented repair until the time of sale to me in about 2004. By then the clutches had stuck so I steam cleaned the entire tractor then disassembled the upper sheet metal, controls, fuel system and covers for restoration and general service including the electric start pony motor. Those parts are now completely ready for assembly (including the skid plate) having been sandblasted, repaired as required, powder paint prime coated and top coated in baked "Old Cat Yellow", then stored indoors. This work was completed in 2005 while related parts were obtained. Since then elder care issues and other projects have prevented finishing this one. I don't think I'll be able to do more with it for at least several years so I want to sell the tractor and all it's related parts, books, and accessories in one package. It has been stored under cover and tarped since 2005:

D4 dozer 6U 6867 with 0240 hours on injection meter. Welded grouser cleats with 70% remaining under carriage (an opinion by Tom Henning Auctioneering Co, a former CAT sales rep who may have sold the machine new). Has 2 stuck idler rollers. Includes CAT 7 by 3 foot hydraulic blade run by CAT No 44 front pump and controls. Blade is in great shape with 8 inch hard face edge and center bolt on bars intact with little wear. Blade has a center mounted 18 inch aux drop down blade on a removable pin mount to scrape trench width cuttings from below a road surface. There is a minor twist on the right upper outer corner of the blade superstructure (about an inch back). Also has BE-GE model 1000 rear pump with twin model 1200 valves and controls for 4 ports to the rear. The draw bar is in great shape. The steering brakes are exposed and ready for relining service. The left hand steering clutch is stuck (released position?). The transmission gears are exposed and look great (Lubed once a year since opened up with spray grease and slide freely). The main engine is free and ran well when last shut down. The cooling system and oil pan are drained. The diesel tank was also hot tank cleaned, acid washed and then painted outside and oiled inside before storage. The exhaust manifold has an ugly modification for changing the exhaust pipe direction.

A new hood was reproduction fabricated from the original which is identical in every way right down to the rivets as OEM. Both hoods are included.

The pony motor carburetor and fuel tank are rebuilt. However two small and repaired freeze cracks were found on the outer lower pony engine cylinders so a NOS CAT re-manufactured pony motor was purchased for instillation that has a new crank and rods in addition to regularly replaced parts. Both pony motors go with this sale.

Various gaskets, paint, gauges, and small parts are included. A track grease pump pail with nozzle and a vintage 5 gallon oil pump pail dispenser are included (non restored but working). Two well used cable chokers and two vintage product dispensing tanks with working hand crank pumps (110 gal ? and 35 gal? ) are included. The dispensing tanks are clean inside and out, red painted, and of average condition for normal shop use. They have lifting rings fitted to the outer corners.

Nine CAT service and parts manuals (including the original-to-the-tractor operator and maintenance instructions) covering engine, chassis, and hydraulic systems are included.

The CAT fender mounted tool box is also painted, filled with various modern and vintage wrenches/tools related to the machine, and is in quite nice overall condition.

I'm asking $6000.00 for everything in one sale. I'm not interested in parting this out or selling the books, blade, etc separately. Call 650 969 5559 for more information. Located in Mountain View CA. USA   Photos available. Ask for Ladd.
