Its just really quiet! I assume that the chatter and
the place to be is the Checker Club message board at
the Taxi Stand.  Yet more reason for any of you
suckers who are not already members, to join the
Checker Club.  Be There or Be Square!

Dear Keith,

I have a good friend "Kathy Miller" who has gone through some recent family 
emergencies and needs to sell a Checker Automobile that she inherited from 
her deceased parents.

I recently returned from Zambia, Africa, where I do "missions work" for 
orphans and widows, and I was out of the country when Kathy began to have 
problems.  (resulting from her parents death)

             MISSIONS WORK IN CENTRAL AFRICA & NEW ORLEANS,USA (DISASTER 
RELIEF)

verification of missions work--go to www.oakridgeobserver.com or 
www.theoakridger.com

I personally have driven the Checker Car that Kathy inherited (when I was 
state side two years ago) from her parents and just last week washed the car 
and cleaned out the inside of the vehicle. The car has been sitting in the 
carport of Kathy's parents home (the place that it has been parked the whole 
time they have owned it ) The car has not been driven in the last year and a 
half.

The car is a 1976 Checker Marathon- Burgandy Red. One owner. Purchased new 
and driven home from Kalamazoo, Michigan by Kathy and her mother.

It was used for mostly short trips. TOTAL CAR MILEAGE  37,000 (never used as 
a cab)
only rust a little behind the two front tires(on the quarter panels)

Interior is very clean and no rips or damage to any seats, door panels.

Kathy has asked me to e-mail or offer the car to anyone who would give it a 
good home.
She is only selling it because of some financial concerns that must be paid.

Kathy has priced the car for a "quick sale" at $7,500.00 (firm) if she had 
time to sell it, I'm confident the car would bring much more. She is just in 
a tough financial spot.

If interested, please either call me at (865) 603-8390 or Kathy's home phone 
at (865) 483-8775, and leave her a message. Confidentially, Kathy has been 
suffering from some depression issues after losing her job and now the death 
of her last parent, her Mom.

Photo's can be e-mailed if you wish.        Respectfully, Mark F. Scarbrough

I haven't seen anything on this list for some time ...

For that matter, there are very few posts on the web site 
right now (except for the "adult" ones I delete every day) ...

Guess everyone is busy with other stuff.

I haven't written anything since I sold my Checker in 2000, but still enjoy the chatter (when there is some). I try to keep up on the checker since I am in love with them, and have a growing shrine of memorabilia. I will own one again some day. Right now I am tring to build my 54 chevy car. That will sell for a pretty penny, and allow me to buy a sweet checker.

Funny, I just got the 'Textfiles List' monthly notice, to remind me that
the list still exists. . My poor Checkers have been sitting for 10 years
now and I am beginning to think perhaps its time to consider letting
them go to someone better equipped to store or restore them. A 1966 A-12
+ 1966 A-11-E  +  1969 A-12-E DeLuxe + 1972 A-12-E Propane conversion.
Anyone interested ? 

Love and Grins,Peter

Any of you who use the Checker Club web site have probably 
already seen this, but I want it to get as wide a 
distribution as possible.

Arthur:  Yes, they did.  There were at least two cars
with that configuration that were produced and sold. 
Last thing I heard about them is that they both
belonged to a couple in Southern California, who had
all the chrome work gold-plated (UGH!).  

Apparently the cars were prototypes, and they were
both produced and sold with 1983 VIN numbers.  (This
is not to say that they are "1983 Checkers", just that
they were assigned 1983 VINs.  Once upon a time I had
one of the VIN numbers, and you could look up the auto
history on one of those VIN-lookup services on-line.)

If you want more info on the cars, you would be best
off talking to Joe Pollard.. he is the one that tipped
me off to their existance.

John,

Thanks for scanning and posting the info.  What are the odds of each 
Checker attending the event getting one of the show posters?  I'd love 
to frame one along with a photo of my car at the show.

I received the sample license plate topper yesterday and it looks very 
nice.  I have ordered 25 of them.  I should be able to sell them for 
about $8 each and still give $1 of each sale to the club.  I don't need 
to make money on the deal but breaking even would be good.  I also have 
a 1970 Georgia license plate to run on the Medicar.  The cut-off year 
for running vintage plates was recently changed to 1970 (from 1957).

I changed the oil pan on the Medicar this week.  Still gotta do the 
rear brakes and the fuel line.  Then I'll try to pull something 
together for the newsletter.

Someone in San Francisco has an older (Continental motor) Marathon  
with the "Big Trunk" option. The rear seat is mounted as in a wagon  
(closer to the front seat, seat back at "C" pillar) and the trunk is  
about 8" deeper (forward.)

Doh!

Sorry about sending the last reply to the list.  This is the only list 
I'm a part of where a reply goes to the list, not the sender...

Anyway, since the cat is out of the bag...
I'm having license plate toppers made with the club logo and should 
have them available in Ypsilanti.  They are nice chrome ovals with a 
bracket and hardware.  If I have any left after Ypsilanti they will be 
available to any club members.

Paul,

Well, I don't know.

If nothing else, I suppose I could personally get 8.5 x 11 
copies made for all the show participants if I know how many 
in advance ... not sure what it would cost since my friend 
with the printing shop usually won't charge me and I would 
insist on paying for a large run. I'll check later today on 
what a run of either the 8.5 x 11 or the original 12 x 18 
would cost.

Vintage plates ... Illinois allows them on any car 
qualifying for Antique Vehicle (AV, 25 years old) plates as 
long as you have the AV plates and registration somewhere 
inside the car.

A couple of years ago an unnamed club member driving his car 
with vintage plates displayed blew through a construction 
zone on the Interstate quite a bit higher than the posted 45 
MPH. $500 fine if caught. It was about 5 AM so it really 
wasn't an unsafe situation; no workers present, no 
construction going on. It just happened that zone had a 
radar gun / display board / camera setup which showed how 
fast he was going and said it took a picture. His first 
reaction was #@$@^% ... then he realized it would show the 
vintage plate ... good luck tracing a 40 some year old plate 
bought on eBay years ago to the current owner.

We have had success printing digital files to very large formats. Try  either 
one of the "fast sign" shops or a firm that does blueprints. It ain't  
particularly cheap ( at least 20 bucks a throw) but the quality is surprisingly  
good. (presuming the underlying digital file is good). You might want to try  
Kinkos.

Garry,

Unfortunately, don't have it digital except the scan I put 
on the web site. Suspect the hard copy would be better quality.

I knew about the T-shirts. Didn't know about the posters ... 
since they will be selling copies, I will definitely not 
make any.

Checkered Friends,
Sadly, it is time to part with my beloved 1981 A12.  I had it listed on the
Checker Club site, but let it lapse because I thought it was sold (the check
bounced).  I am only parting with it because I have a new convertible.  I
had planned alternating between the two yet I have only driven the Checker
twice in the past 6 months and don't have room for both.  It is been garaged
since September, but started every week or two.   

Some details.  135k, 2nd owner.  No rust, ever.  Floors, trunk, frame look
new.  New silver paint with black (painted) roof.  New Michelins (80K mile
rated), new brakes, new AC (converted to 134), new radiator, new carburetor,
Perlin gas-sender, new shocks, all new front end, and more.  Interior all
original except new Clarion CD. Custom trailer hitch.  Was daily driver
until September, drive ANYWHERE.  $10,000, obo.  

Will email photos to those interested.  Car located in Gainesville, FLA.
ONLY TO GOOD HOME.
Cheers, Dws.

One A12-E Checker was built with the small rear doors. As anyone who owns a  
A11-e or a A12-e the rear doors sag due to the excess weight. We received many 
 complaints on this problem. Sometime,in the 70's I asked David Markin if I 
could  build a new A12-E with regular rear doors. He asked me show him a 
drawing of  one, which I did. After permission I, with help of a couple key 
employees,  welded a second center pillar into a E body. We filled in the nine inches  
between the two pillars with a front door skin on the lower & a flat  panel 
above the belt line , which was covered with vinyl roof material. The  inside 
panel was covered with headliner material. This body was ran down the  
production line to completion. It looked great and the doors did not sag.  This was 
the only Checker built with this configuration. The Engineering Dept.  put the 
kabosh on the idea. I have no idea what ever happened to this one of a  kind.

I recently went through an e-toll...thank god I had the "1958 Taxi"
plate mounted on the bumpers.

Never heard a word.  A good DMV worker could probably trace me down since
I  am the only guy who drives a 1957 Checker in IL.

License plate toppers are little signs that attach to the top holes of 
your license plate.  They were popular in the 40's and 50's.  Many of 
them advertised vacation destinations, car dealers, insurance 
companies, etc.  Some advertised car clubs (like AAA) and some were 
just for fun (Betty Boop, Felix the Cat).

You can find lots of them by doing a search for "license plate toppers" 
on eBay.  I am having some made with the Checker Car Club of America 
logo.  They are a chrome oval with a heavy duty sticker of the logo. 
The sample looks great and I will have them at Ypsilanti.

sounds cool. Sort of like the grille badges on European cars of the same era?
I have two cars (two Checkers, my wife's cars don't count) and I'd like to buy a couple if there are any left after the meet.

1981 Checker Marathon   Vin# MTS4128BK002844
  Just had carburetor rebuilt, new tires, have all hub caps and chrome
  Front seats have separation at seems and a couple of tears. The rear seats are good.
  The top has rusted thru now except where a new plate had been put in. All other parts are in good shape. All glass is good. Will sell for parts. Will consider a partner to part out car and split profits. Looking for $700.00 OBO.

Hi all checker heads

great to se all the mails comming thru after a period of silence

i havent mailed anything my self for a long period of time and has been pretty busy with my projects

anyways after having problems withg the erngine and getting it to run like its supposed restoring the carburator  changing to holley projection and back and so on  i finally realized that my enging was about to give up its breath

suddenly it just didnt have any uph left in the hills and just styarted to use a lot of oil..shooting oill into the airfilter and carburtator told me that its dying of exhaustion  

then i ran into a blessing of great magnitude  i was offerd an Checy Truck 230 inline 6 from 1964 with only 144000 miles on the clock that became the replacement engine  its running so smoothe tjust like dream and ive newer had the car run as nice as it oes now.

the donor car is a chevy stepside from 64 that was bought in the south of USA  hqving been under a garage all its life but the new owner bless and curse him  is building a custom out of a totally perfect original car that is kinnda sacreligious to me but the blessing is that i now own a great allmost new engine tha is in my Checker 

Ocver here its allmost impossible to get your hands on a decent inline 6 caus4e pepole didnt want them and still dont  most pepole replace to V8 cause they like the sound and tourqe of them.

ive heard that oin the us pepaol?e,are building their cars back to original line 6  i wonder if its true.

Message-ID: <8C935879117A6AE-A68-79B5@MBLK-M19.sysops.aol.com>

I'm going to post this at the website as well, but figured it best to 
cast as wide a net as possible.

Has anyone had a Checker that lived in the States and has had it 
brought over to the UK in the last 3-4 years?  I may be in a position 
shortly to have to make that decision and I'm wrestling with whether to 
give it a try, to keep the car in the U.S. gathering dust, or sell it.

Given the age of the car I'm not even sure if it can come up to the 
specs necessary to be registered and operated in Britain.  I have info 
on companies to contact, but if someone has had prior experience I'd 
sure like to know about it.

Please contact me directly at:  dbronx at aol.com

Thanks,

Hi Bro

If i were you i would contact the DVLA in GB

http://www.dvla.gov.uk/
to check up the import regulations they have i belive they can ansewr all 
your worries  beeing a 76 you pass the classic car age and over in europe 
that means no import tax on that wehicle i belive its the same in GB

what i know you need is the title owner documents and all registration 
documents

with that it shouldnt be any problem

here in sweden we have a rule that sais that if you have owned a car moore 
than a year you can bring it as a part of your moove wothout tax  (newer 
cars) also it involves special rules when it comes to seatbelts and such.

but as i said   Check with DVLA

Kathryn,

I don't know for sure but he MIGHT be the same person who used to have 
the checkerman ID on the club web site. I say used to because he did not 
renew back in 7/2006 ...

Wasn`t me !  I have almost 350 positive  feedbacks under the name
'guitarmaniax' and have never used an auction sniping service (such as
'Auction Stealer'). Personally I find them unethical, but what ya gonna
do when everybody else  is using them?  Most of these services will let
you use them for free if you`re willing to post your bid in the last
nine or five seconds, but you pay if you want your bid entered in the
last four, three, two, or the very last second. I got beat out on an
item yesterday; It doesn`t matter how fast your connection (or mouse) is
anymore. 

P.S. For those who inquired earlier this month about my four Checkers,
which have sat in my backyard for 10 years, I should have photos very
soon. 

P in Van Nuys, California

Doug,

That's great.  How about if I flip that around and tell me what
(realistically) you would have been happy to receive on eBay.  If I can do
it, I will pay that and shipping.  Where are you and what is the condition
otherwise of the seats?  Any photos?

Thanks, David.

Hi David,

you may be in luck.  I was about to list a set on ebay. My seats are missing
the bottom cushions.  Make me an offer I can't refuse.

I don't understand this whole sniping thing. I just
bid the maximum I am willing to pay for something. 
And then if I get it, great, if not, oh well. It just
means that some other sucker was willing to part with
more cash than I was for whatever the given object
might be. *shrug*

It's called "recreational bidding". For the life of me I cannot 
understand it. I figured it out when I was buying cast iron, I watched 
and found pans were going for 40 bucks or so. I bid 42 dollars and was 
outbid three times by a dollar or two. I started to snipe instead of bid 
and I bought two at 42 bucks. Go figure. I don't bid anymore, I snipe. 
It turns it into more like a sealed bid auction. Nobody has the time to 
reup their max. Works for me. I don't do bidding wars anymore.

God Bless.

Please allow me to introduce myself
Im a man of wealth and taste

sorry couldn't resist starting with this line from The Rolling Stones....

Well as you all guessed I'm Dutch, a member of The CCCoA and this mailing 
list. I own a 1968 Marathon (you can find pictures of it in the members 
gallery under Peter's Checkers The Netherlands at the Checker Taxistand). 
Kathryn, I hope you are not to disappointed losing the bidding. But Ebay is 
an auction site, the high bidder wins. As simple as that. I didn't use snipe 
(never heard of it either). I just got up at two o'clock in the morning, 
started bidding at the last moment and won. That's all. You win some, you 
lose some.

regards from The Netherlands

Peter

Happy to meet you Peter. I was disappointed, of course, but not angry. Mostly I was just curious about who else wanted it enough to be upping their bid at last minute. It was an honest bidding war and the best mouse won. My philosophy is that if I don't win an auction, then it wasn't meant to be. I still have a large variety of things in my collection. If you have never seen the collection, check here: http://bassettpics.net/checker/index.shtml#Checker%20Photos - besides the "collection" link, there are more pics in each of the show pictures.

I'd also never heard of sniping an auction and can't imaging that I would ever use it. Nice to know about if in case there is something I absolutely NEED to have, but not for things that I just WANT to have. It's actually more fun to do that final bidding yourself. Usually I do have a max amount bid, but will sometimes revise that in the last minutes. That's what happened in this case. 

Now the curiosity thing - did you get this for your own collection or are you going to actually put it in a Checker?

intrestiung

milage apche in line 6 and now my baby spins lika a cat  just need som 
change of gascetsin the bottom cause its leaking a bit  engine has newer 
been opend since 1964

Today i took it thru the annual inspection and they found rust in the front 
frame  gaaahh  luckily i have a welding machine so here we go ...

two markings to be fixed until next year is the rust and a bushing in the 
help steering arm attached to the frame that was really in bad condition but

The funny thing is that I am not the one who finds the things to bid on. You know the old joke about the wife spending all her husband's money as well as men hating to window shop. Well my husband Dave loves to "window shop" on eBay. He will spend all evening seeing what he can find. He doesn't buy anything, just likes looking. But he will send me links to auctions that he either wants for himself (not that many times), or Checker stuff for me (frequently). I've actually told him a few times "don't send me anything this month, we can't afford it". And I don't get ANY of the Checker stuff with a credit card. If I can't afford to have it taken directly out of our checking account, it doesn't get bid on.

If you have bid as much as you will pay, and another person will pay  
more, they win the auction and the seller gets the market value of  
the item.
If, as you say, you have determined the value you place upon the item  
and bid that amount, then the bid of another - the amount or the time  
it is placed, is irrelevant.

Bidding what the market will bear is fine. And if you bid high enough on 
your bid, the last minute snipe programs will run out of time when they 
are jumping one or two dollars are a time. Although I have seen 
instances where it appeared one of the snipe programs kept bidding for a 
few seconds after the official end time ...

What I find unethical are:

1) Sellers who use shill bidders to drive up the bid price and then send 
you a "second chance" offer for the item. If I don't take it and they 
reoffer the item, I won't bid one it the second time around ...

2) Sellers who have a low starting price but extremely unreasonable 
shipping and handling fees

I like the bidding policy at govliquidation.com:

"At the scheduled closing time, the lots with active bidding will remain 
open for 15 minute increments until all bidding has ceased."

I bought my 1954 Checker trailer (U.S. Army) on that site.

I'm working on a Surge cab history for the club newsletter, and am looking 
for updates from those of you who have them (or used to have them). If 
you've got one and I've never talked to you, please let me hear from ya! 
Either thru the taxi stand or this email. Sightings, rumours, and anecdotes 
are all welcome. I'm hoping to finish the article in time for the summer 
issue.
Thanks a bunch!
