Early Ford V-8 Club Forum

FORUM RULES: Users agree to these Rules when using Forum.

The site administrator reserves the right to change the terms and conditions of the user agreement without prior notice to the user. It is the responsibility of the user to regularly review the terms of this agreement.

The user agrees to the following terms:

  1. All information that you provide to us for your membership is correct.
  2. You will not use your membership to spam, harrass, or exploit other members in any way.
  3. Vulgar, Abusive, Racist and Sexist Language will not be tolerated.
  4. Commercial-type sales postings will not be allowed.
  5. No mass posting or flooding of the boards is allowed.
  6. No Advertising of parts or cars; no Ebay or business/commercial ads (please use the "Classified" for ads Wanted or For Sale).
  7. VIEWING MULTIPLE TOPICS ON SCREEN: You can choose to see more than 10 Topics at a time ... Log In and choose "Preferences" from the top bar on the Forum page. Scroll down and Change the "Default Topics Returned" parameter to 25 or 50, and save the changes. Since this setting is stored in your browser 'cookies' (if enabled), it seems to use that stored value even if you are not logged in. So, if you use a PC that you haven't logged into the forum from, the setting still seem to remain at the default.
  8. EXTERNAL PHOTO LINKS ON FORUM: You can still use external photo links in your posts on the new forum. They follow the rules of any link in that they have to have the URL link qualified down to the full image file name (example: .jpg). The links will open in a new browser window, the same as an uploaded image attached to a post. Since an image attachment to any post does not display inline with the post, the results are the same. You can use multiple external links within a post. This link is from photos on a site from Don Clink's 'Deuce@75' albums:

    http://donclink.com/deuce_75_1/images/dscn2950.jpg

    Using links from photo sites such as Photobucket can help in "size" issue with uploaded attachment files. For best viewing in web browsers, photos should be around the 800x600 pixel range, and probably not more than 1024x768. Most cameras today store HUGE jpg image files, as the default settings are in the 7, 8, 10, and 12Mb image sizes. The image files that are then attached are very large, and the browser can't display the full image size without using the scroll bars. Use the re-sizing functions of your photo editing software to reduce the image to 800x600, which reduces the file sixe and the image load time in the browser. Don uses Google's free Picassa3 software, which is an excellent photo management product. All of the photo albums of the Deuce, Grand National, and Auburn that are links on the NORG site were built using Picassa's web creation functions. And it's free? (THANKS to Don Clink for the info!)
  9. HOW DO I SHOW MY EMAIL ADDRESS ALONG WITH MY USERNAME? You can LogIn on the Forum, and select PREFERENCES. On this page Members can add optional information such as their City,State, Country; Occupation; Hobbies: list a Homepage; list AOL Instant Messanger Handle; Signature; "Make Email Address viewable to others;" and even change the number of Default Topics shown on a page. WHEN others click on your profile, they will see this information.

As Web Administrator, I get several questions a year about where someone can get back issues of the V-8 TIMES. So, i believe they do have value.
May I suggest that you place a For Sale classified ad on this site and see what happens.

I have complete yrs from 1970 to present but will not break up the set to sell 1 yr. out of it I would sell 1970 to 1989. That's 114 issues @ $3 each = $ 342. / Would take $300 plus you pay for media shipping which is much cheaper than regular mail. Probebly be 2 large boxes , 50 some issues to a box.???? ken ct. cell 1-203-260-9780

Bob56,

I sold every issue I had last year, well, the ones that received bids anyway, on eBay. I started with ads that included the entire year and typically, the envelopes they came in. All were "as new". I had them 1967 to 2017. I started the auctions at $1 for all six issues and shipping at cost.
Very few sold. The very early years did sell for the most part but never realized more than a buck or so for each.
The ones that didn't sell, I gave away. At least someone will enjoy them.
I laugh at the ads I see that collections for upwards of $300+. My guess are these are guys that have been "out of touch" with the modern market.

My "library" of the V8 TIMES fills several shelves in my office and began in 1975. The Club membership annual roster used to have an index to topics in back issues, but I haven't seen it for a while. The TIMES has many very valuable articles dealing with repairs and other questions regarding our old Fords. I don't know if a separate index is valuable, but would be great to have. As us old coots go to the "garage in the sky", much of the info goes with us. I use my collection to fill in the increasing gaps in my ancient memory.

Hey Super,

When I advertised my issues on eBay, the rosters were included with the respective years. Still, little to no interest, even at $1 per complete year.
I think there are simply too many collections "out there" to make these have any significant monetary value.

I agree that back issues do not have a lot of value. One of the things you can do with back issues is donate them. Our older generation who are in nursing homes or veteran's facilities would probably enjoy them immensely and it will bring back a lot of memories for them. The other thing you can do is give them to young people who are just getting started in the hobby. It can have a great impact on keeping the hobby alive. When you go to a car show you can hand them out to potential new members or kids who are at the show with parents or grandparents. Good PR for the Club and it generates some great conversation. I also belong to "Goodguys" and I take those magazines to the doctor's office. Guys need something to read besides "People" magazine or "Good Housekeeping". It's funny because when I go for the next visit the "Goodguys" mag is gone but the old "People" and "Good Housekeeping" are still there. I mentioned this to my doctor one day and he said that the good magazines somehow "grow legs" and walk out of the office. Anyway just some ideas on what to do with your old V-8 Times.

I tried to send old magazines via media mail and the post office said they don't qualify because they have advertising in them. With weights over 20 pounds, I find FedEx or USPS cheaper. And I, like Kube, got about $5 per year.
