Harley Davidson 1932 model B

1959 Mercedes Benz Ponton 180 gasoline model

Looks like someone punched it in the eye..

4 door coupe , shorter than the 220 series.

bumper brackets broken..taillight lens worn out...chrome is good...

Some shit 4 brains tried to rob the windshield n broke it...

Cancered out fenders from poor undercoating ...ez fix..

Same imbecile robbed the original fuel pump so i found a knockoff that works...unknown maker, not Weber or Webcon... no idea who or where its made ,,but it functions..filthy dirt ...

rebuilt generator installed.53 years later electrical components always need service although the voltage regulator was in mint condition.

No wonder it doesnt shift in gear properly... someone robbed this intermediate round linkage bracket....GOT ONE? i need it..

Generator mounts here...

C.A.E. Alternators Starters in Van Nuys rebuilt the generator,FAST and as u can see a fantastic job...very reasonable cost,, highly reccomend...

B4 on the generator,, rusty crusty, poor output..

Fires up right away, engine was stored w fresh oil, no keys so I ran a toggle hot wire off the ignition, next to add a kill toggle from positive terminal coil to toggle to positive terminal battery, if u dont wire it as factory or do a direct wire battery to coil the coil gets HOT n fails... Some folks add electronic ignition to these old cars,, worth considering. Next is to source that linkage bracket as in foto above, Reverse seems to function only if u start car w clutch in n Reverse engaged,,, have to figure that out...for a car that sat for 15 some odd years its in pretty good condition, from what i read its the preferred series over the next series of Heckflosse Finback cars Benz produced, I'm NO Benz expert but i can learn ...it is a fun old car...

Airedale terrier in 1916-24 HD sidecar

my friend found this great foto , i gotta think its a little foto shopped .. you can see the toolbox on the tank in front of the Corbin speedo, its got a amp gauge on top of the box, horn below headlight, ever notice the early bikes never had mirrors? no door to the outside off the boat.

Afrikan elefants extinct 2027..anything for a buck

 Ivory  what its all about ,, some ivory bullshit in a Hong Kong shop that came from a grisly murder of a majestic elephant...anything for money... money chasing bullshit

Pretty sad state of affairs, amazing cruelty, in the yr 1900 Afrika was estimated to have some 10 million Afrikan elefants, 1989 some 630,000, today some 300,000,, 2027 the only elefants left will be in zoos if not killed off by EHV-9 , Equine Herpes Virus 9 a killer of Asian elefants...

If you have ever seen these guys in real life , they are amazing, ...rhinos will be extinct in 10 years outside of zoos, ... anything for the almighty dollar..........

Stug wheels tracks recovered in Romania

Reader sent me these amazing fotos of these massive Panzer wheels and tracks, by looking at the old fotos my guess these are for the Stug. i could be wrong , but they look closest to this vehicle, what a job that must have been to swap out or service these massive wheels and tracks.
