This car has been in my family for over 40 years. It was originally blue before first restoration in the late 1960's or early 1970's in which it was changed to white. I drove this vehicle in 1979 from the church I was married in to the reception. Shortly afterwards my father in law had the body and chassis restored and color changed to the green you see today. In 1984 the engine was removed and rebuilt professionally. The crankshaft was reground and tuftrided, and connecting rods re-bushed and trued. The camshaft was reground and parkerised as were tappets. Valves were reground and valve seats cut and guides redone, cylinder head rebuilt, etc... The vehicle probably has less than 500 miles on it since 1984 and new carbs were installed 2 years ago(instead of cleaning and rebuilding the originals which were worn out). The top needs to be replaced as mice damaged it in storage and the dash and steering wheel could use refurbishing from age. The mirrors are in typical shape for their age, some discoloration and imperfections The last time I drove it everything worked as expected and ran great. I no longer have the time or space to keep it so like the many other cars and cycles I have everything is going up for sale. Please ask any questions you have before bidding. Vehicle should be considered 95% original in the aspects of being all there. Obviously the color is not correct and some parts such as fuel pump and other minor items have been changed through the years. Actual mileage is unknown but some provenance is available--not sure if there is a title as vehicles are not title-able if they are more than 15 years old in this state. More pictures are possible but vehicle is in storage and will be difficult to take out if a major snow storm hits us.
