Description

The listing, PISTON CLOCK has ended.

This is a RE-LIST due to incorrect mailing and a death in the family

What we have here is a Chevy Piston Clock. It really works and keeps great time, made by my husband, Topper. Runs by a battery. (battery included) The piston still have the rings included.

Because of all that has gone on around my home in the past months. I decided my husband needs to make something cool. I am setting this up as a TIERED AUCTION.

How this will work:
1.YOU MUST BE A VERIFIED SELLER,
2. PUT IN A BID,
3.COME UP WITH A GREAT CLOCK IDEA INCORPORATED WITH A CAR PART, LOGO, WHATEVER!

Now it has to be a good idea. When an idea is presented, others must vote on it.

So, example, 2 clock plans.....they turn out to be cool ideas....equals one manly man per idea.

Now comes the other part. Voting......each vote counts for a little manly man item. So if there are 25 votes on one idea and 5 on another, that is 30 votes=30 small items.

I will have the items listed that are to be included and pictured so you can see what the winner will win. I just do not have the items as yet. But will soon.

Understand now, this is for the GUYS. So all you women out there, think of what your husband would like.......

Any questions, let me know. I will explain better,I hope. I am doing this to help my husband, he needs the love of you Listians right now. You might get Topper answering you thru my name, I will make sure he notes his name in the message to you.

This will run for a full 21 days just to see what we get for ideas. I am excited and hope this will excite you too!
Legends lmo!

This may be too simple, but a steering wheel? with Love, Thoughts, & Prayers -Elizabeth

i think that's a great idea now we need some votes. i will let you all know what goes in the pot wednesday. i fanned you.

Hmmmmm... Looking for a clock for my Step-Dad, who is a Preacher and collects and displays clocks, and sometimes even preaches on them. I have read your listing over and over, and the more I read it the more confused I get. I have prayed about and read it again. I think I understand more clearly now. Topper is your husband and he and your family have went through some hard and dark times lately. I noticed your clock because I thought that it looked similar to a cross, but that someone had cut the top of it off a bit. Now that you are talking about cars and logos, I get it. And, the man, and manly things. I am going to call my step dad early in the morning and have him pray for Topper and have the church pray and put Topper on the prayer chain. Maybe my idea would be for Topper to come up for a unique clock for my preacher clock collector step dad to take to church to preach on that I could give him as a Christmas Gift? Of course, I would pay him a reasonable amount for his work... Just thinking, and may be thinking too hard, but I think that the cross would be considered as an appropriate Logo? Well, let me know what you think. And Mrs. Topper, we will be praying for you as well. So, sending love, hugs, and many prayers your way....<3

thank you for looking at it and i get it that it is not clear. i want to personally thank you for putting us both on the prayer list. i am greatful dearly for that.

Fuel gage from the 67 to 72 The part is round with single white hand no numbers or letters on gage just lines to mark fuel level. Or the Tachometer Gage from the 67 - 72 Chevy. The part is a black oval shape with a round gage face with white marks, one white hand and no numbers or letters on gage.

Use the distributor cap as the base. Have the Chevy emblem on the front of the distributor cap. Mount the Tachometer or Fuel gage (or a replica there of) on the top (as if the part were just laid there waiting to be installed) to hold the inner workings of the clock.

I know these parts would be hard to find but you could make a replica of the distributor cap or the Tachometer with any black container and just marking the numbers in white with white hands. Distributor caps are easy to find in most junk yards. Chevy emblem can be done with paint or junkyard find

Oh I loved this clock the first time I say it. Now I have some credits and may be able to make a good run at it. Wish me luck. Been a fan, most def watching and going to try to not only bid but also win.

I hope you and your family have a Blessed Week. You all will be in our thoughts and prayers.

thank you. that is another tool. but no one is voting. everyone wants the winner to just get tools heeee?

Nov 30th, 2011 at 5:13:36 AM PST by

I think a older or antique license plate would be neat

Nov 29th, 2011 at 8:39:55 PM PST by

yea that would be great. this one is my vote. so one tool and one nut. giggle

Nov 30th, 2011 at 5:10:32 AM PST by

Im voting for IPERDU's Tachometer
I would love to see a clock made out of or off of a tach from a '70's Mach Drag car. Anything that has to do with speed is a favorite for me. Like Nascar.
Great idea of an auction and I wish you the best of luck.
Fanned and watching for sure!

Nov 24th, 2011 at 3:09:57 PM PST by

Ok, I will play fair.... How about building a clock inside of an old front light of a car, as well as some color, and putting the light cover back on with some type of car part used as a support system?

Nov 22nd, 2011 at 7:37:16 PM PST by

ok what type of car?

Nov 23rd, 2011 at 4:40:57 AM PST by

An old chevy hub cap, possibly a moon type, with a movement that runs backwards, to make a backwards clock, good luck vote for me (smiles) , fanned and bid

Nov 22nd, 2011 at 12:35:17 PM PST by

Now this is different! I like it.

Dec 8th, 2011 at 10:19:36 AM PST by

Get a Tire with some really cool looking rims! put the clock in the middle, and in the middle of the clock, put in the Chevy logo!

Dec 2nd, 2011 at 5:10:45 AM PST by

now that would be kinda big. wouldn't it?

Dec 2nd, 2011 at 9:27:39 PM PST by

Well - I know I wasn't too clear.... My steering wheel idea was the initial idea for the clock and then when I came back I added: the column was the base (stand) with the wheel being the FACE and the turn signal one hand (maybe the HOUR hand?) and then the gear shift the other hand (the minute?) I know I wasn't the mechanic..... I just sat in the garage and watched (love my daddy!) ...the clock too ... maybe this can help clear it up an get a few votes for me :)

Dec 1st, 2011 at 4:07:29 AM PST by

i did add that as a tool.

Dec 1st, 2011 at 9:05:20 PM PST by

But, if you are offering a sedan, my car is old, I will take the sedan, with whatever kind of clock that ya want to build and put on it, and drive it around and show off the clock proudly. Did I get a vote? I am totally voteless! And outbidded! ;-(

Nov 30th, 2011 at 5:50:04 AM PST by

i put that vote under headlight. giggle

Nov 30th, 2011 at 12:53:36 PM PST by

No, not the whole Sedan, the Headlight of the sedan..... Giggle giggle....

Nov 29th, 2011 at 3:23:03 PM PST by

kieran i was just wondering if you needed a car that bad lollolololol bad girl! bad!!!!

Nov 30th, 2011 at 5:11:53 AM PST by

Take a ralley chevy wheel with the 5 neon lights and hook them togther for a wall clock

Dec 9th, 2011 at 11:27:25 PM PST by

For a really large clock you could make one out of the hood of a Volkswagen Beetle. For those of you not familiar with the with the Beetle the engine is in the rear of the car and the trunk is in the front so the hod is actually on the rear of the vehicle.

Nov 28th, 2011 at 2:24:37 PM PST by

lol roflmao

Nov 28th, 2011 at 7:11:58 PM PST by

How about the air breather cover on a Chevy Camero or some other type of vintage muscle car!

Nov 28th, 2011 at 2:22:32 PM PST by

now that is cool. add another tool to the pile.

Nov 28th, 2011 at 7:12:38 PM PST by
