Looks like it has been sitting for a while. No oil under car means it is out of oil :lol:

Dangit ! .

There's an old grimy Humber Super Snipe in East Los I see every time I lunch over there , it hasn't moved in 5 years that I know of but a for sale sign appeared on it this week so I stopped and snapped a few pictures just in case anyone is interested , now my 'puters won't recognize my iPod when I connect it :x .

Maybe the cable went bad ? .

I'll try again next week when I locate another casble .

Soon I hope ! .

It may be that I was trying to use the wrong patch cable , I don't know where my regular one is and my brother looked at the one I was trying and said ' I *think* that's an iPad cable , not an iPod cable .

I don't know bupkis about computers so I'll go look where the other cable might be then buy another if necessary .

Sadly the side trims are all gone , I know Kip Motors prolly has N.O.S. ones in stock but kip burned me and several friends couple times so he's my last resort now .

Please stay tuned .

Loaded question, but is it a wagon or saloon?

It is a four door Saloon and the burled wood dash looks to be in O.K. shape , hard to see through the filthy dusty windows .

Minus the wheels, I love that car. The paint scheme is perfect. Wish I had the room. Wonder if it's a 4 or 6 model? It kind of needs the six.

Based on what I can tell from the photos this looks like a Humber Hawk. The grill is different a well as the lack of chrome trim. That would be a 78hp 2.3L 4.

I have no idea on the price. $5K seems to be the new $500 car... but that just makes me sound old.
