Look to the left of this message for the forum contents. Scroll down to V-8 Times and click on it. Scroll down to V-8 Times Index and click on it. It's all there in PDF form and can be searched or down loaded. Credit to Frank Scheidt for putting this together. I assume that this is being updated as each issue is sent out.

Certainly a better resource than one's memory of the ins and outs of the hobby. I do miss the article index that used to be a part of the club roster. To use it, you need the issue date which is on the cover of the TIMES. As interest in the old car hobby continues to fade, this Ford "lore" becomes more precious. alanwoodieman 09-18-2017 @ 7:43 PM reply profile send p.m. Senior Posts: 868 Joined: Oct 2009 I will go to my grave owning my Ford Reference Library, aka V8 Times--as long as there are flatheads to fix, I will have my resources kubes40 09-18-2017 @ 1:15 PM reply profile send p.m. Senior Posts: 3395 Joined: Oct 2009 You're right about the binders. I did sell them separately from the V8 Times. I don;t recall exactly what I realized for them but do recall I was pleasantly surprised.

Binders are no longer sold by the club so they have become valuable. I take old V-8 Times and stick a label on the front advertising the club and how to subscribe to the magazine. I hand them out at car shows to flathead guys/girls that are not aware of the club. woodiewagon46 09-15-2017 @ 5:20 PM reply profile send p.m. Senior Posts: 698 Joined: Nov 2012 Supereal, what I started doing is making copies of all the interesting facts and articles and giving the copies away. Sure saves shelf space. supereal 09-15-2017 @ 2:06 PM reply profile send p.m. Senior Posts: 6819 Joined: Oct 2009 My collection began in 1975. Forty two years is a lot of issues and shelf space, but they are all a treasure of Ford history and tips that have almost disappeared. I struck up a friendship with the late Dick Flynn years ago that continued for years. His tips column in the early V8 were mainstays. woodiewagon46 09-09-2017 @ 5:25 PM reply profile send p.m. Senior Posts: 698 Joined: Nov 2012 I donated my entire collection of automobile related magazines to the Speedway Museum in Lincoln, NE. I tried to give them away locally to a few places but they couldn't take them, (I won't go into why they couldn't). On a cross-country trip and a visit to the Museum, we walked thru their library and I mentioned what I had and they offered to take them all. 42merc 09-09-2017 @ 5:08 PM reply profile send p.m. New Member Posts: 126 Joined: Dec 2010 I also had V8 times going back to 1971. I didn't advertise them, but I offered them free to every car guy I know. Could not give them away. Went into the trash. kubes40 09-08-2017 @ 3:27 PM reply profile send p.m. Senior Posts: 3395 Joined: Oct 2009 Okay, I sold all of mine last year on eBay. I bundled them in years. Had a collection back to the beginning of this club, 1967 or so as I recall. Anyway, the very early ones brought around $30 for a year. In to the mid to late 70's around $10 a year. After that I pretty much gave them away. I laugh at the ads I see advertising them for $300 plus a set. Ain't gonna happen my friend... Mike "Kube" Kubarth
