Vehicle Description
Cheap running classic! Burgundy metallic paint was done in the
1980's and is showing its age but still shines up. Dark red
interior was done at that time also and still shows well. Original
style 6 cyl flathead engine starts and runs with a 3 speed manual
transmission that shifts well. Shocks are worn out and should be
replaced. Speedometer, oil pressure and I believe amp gauges work.
Fuel gauge is a little erratic. 6 volt electric with a recent
battery. The owner pulled it out of a very longterm storage a
couple of years ago and had some necessary repairs done to get it
running and driving. The waterpump was replaced and the engine
tuned up. The carburetor was rebuilt, the gas tank cleaned out, and
an electric fuel pump installed. The brakes system was gone through
and the master cylinder and wheel cylinders were replaced.
The current owner has had the car since approx. 1983. The car does
run and drive but will need some things still to make it a regular
driver. I did drive it to do the photos and it sat and idled the
entire time with no issues. Definitely needs the shocks replaced as
I think I still feel a little sea sick. :) Does not look as though
it was ever a rust bucket and has some minor bubble popping up in a
few places. (see pics) Good affordable starter classic that you can
use while you work on it. Clean California title in hand. True
miles unknown. There is a good chance you won't park next to
another one at your next car show.
