For Sale: 1952 Crosley Hotshot in Knightstown, Indiana
52' WAS THE LAST YEAR FOR THE CROSLEY AUTOMOBILES AND THIS HOT SHOT
SUPER SPORT ROADSTER WAS THE HIGH LINE OF THE CARS. THEY ARE VERY A
COLLECTIBLE MICRO CAR. A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T KNOW THAT THEY WON
THERE CLASS RACING AT SEBRING 1950 BEATING FERRARIS AND OTHERS. MR.
CROSLEY WAS A BRILLANT MAN AND LOVED THE CAR BUSINESS BUT HE WAS
MOST SUCCESSFUL IN RADIO AND APPLIANCES. HEMMINGS HAS A GREAT STORY
ON HIM AND THE CROSLEY AUTOS THAT I COPIED AND CAN INCLUDE WITH
PURCHASE. THIS ROADSTER LOOKS A BIT TOASTED BUT REALLY NOT MUCH
RUST TO REPAIR. IT HAS A GREAT RUNNING CROSLEY 4 CYLINDER WITH 2
CARBS AND AN AFTER MARKET ALUM. INTAKE. THAT DOESNT BOOST THE HP
MUCH BUT ITS COOL. HAS GOOD WORKING 3 SPEED MANUAL AND A REGULAR
LOOKING REAR DIFFERENTIAL. 6 VOLT ELECTRIC SYSTEM. I HAVE NO TOP.
THEY HANDLE CORNERS GREAT. THE ENGINE STOCK PUTS OUT 26.5 HP BUT
ADD A SUPER CHARGER AND ITS 55 HP. THERE ARE A COUPLE SUPER
CHARGERS THAT CAN BE BOUGHT FOR IT AND OTHER HI PO PARTS OUT THERE.
THIS CAR SAT FOR YEARS IN ATLANTA, GA. GUY FROM OHIO BOUGHT IT AND
A GOOD ENGINE THEN WE GOT IT. WHEN WE GOT HER WE HAD TO GET IT TO
RUN AND DRIVE. BOUGHT BRAKE PARTS AND FIXED THEM. ALSO REPLACED
WINDSHIELD WITH NEW. OIL PRESSURE WORKS AND IS GOOD. ENGINE DON'T
SMOKE AND PURRS LIKE A KITTEN. NO LIGHTS WORK AND IT REALLY NEEDS
NEW WIRING HARNESS. FRAME IS SOLID AND NEVER WRECKED. FLOORS AND
ROCKER ARE THE THINGS THAT NEED RUST HOLE REPAIR. VIN TAG AND TITLE
MATCH. SELLING AS IS, NO WARRANTY. 51 PHOTOS POSTED ON MY WEBSITE.
LAST PHOTO IS VIN TAG. NOTE: I do not recommend yankee crosley
parts. They dont stand behind parts. There new master cylinder
leaked and we bought a rebuild kit from service motors in NV to fix
it for this car. it now works well. There are other suppliers and
crosleyautoclub.com has a list online. Plus they have an
interchange page that has part #s and other vehicles that
interchange. DELIVERY IS POSSIBLE ALL OVER THE WORLD THRU US. I
NEED ZIP CODE TO PRICE. IF OUT OF USA I NEED PORT AND COUNTRY.
