for sale

Price: US $3,750.00

Description:

UP FOR AUCTION HERE IS A RARE 1981 ORANGE FREEWAY.
PLEASE NOTE THAT EBAY HAS ALWAYS HAD TROUBLE WITH FREEWAY YEAR/VIN#.
EBAY DOES NOT LIKE THE VIN# FOR SOME REASON THAT I ENTERED WITH A YEAR
OF 1981 SO THE DETAILS SHOW THIS FREEWAY AS A 1980 BUT IN FACT IT IS A 1981
WITH A CLEAR TITLE SHOWING THE 17 CHARACTER VIN# AND YEAR AS 1981.
THIS IS A NO RESERVE AUCTION LISTING.
I WILL ONLY ACCEPT BIDS FROM BIDDERS IN THE
LOWER 48 STATES OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.



THIS RARE FREEWAY UNIQUE 3 WHEEL VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED BY HIGH MILEAGE VEHICLES (HMV) OF MN. HMV PRODUCED ABOUT 700 FREEWAYS BETWEEN 1979 AND 1982. THERE ARE LESS THEN 200 OF THESE FREEWAYS KNOWN TO EXIST TODAY AND UNDER HALF OF THOSE ARE IN DRIVABLE CONDITION MAKING THESE VEHICLES A VERY RARE PART OF AMERICAN AUTOMOBILE HISTORY.
HERE IS YOUR CHANCE TO OWN A PART OF THAT HISTORY! ADD AN AMERICAN MADE MICRO VEHICLE TO YOUR COLLECTION.
FREEWAYS CAME IN 2 ENGINE CONFIGURATIONS BOTH BEING SINGLE CYLINDER 12HP OR 16HP TECUMSEH ENGINES. DURING THE SALES OF THESE FREEWAYS THE GUARANTEE WAS YOU WOULD GET 100MPG WITH THE 12HP AND 80MPG WITH THE 16HP. THIS 1981 MODEL HAS THE 12HP ENGINE. THIS ENGINE RUNS GREAT!
POWERTRAIN ON FREEWAYS IS A CENTRIFUGAL CLUTCH SYSTEM. BOTTOM LINE IS THERE IS A GO AND A STOP. THIS SETUP ALONG WITH THE 12HP ENGINE RESULTS IN SPEEDS UP TO 55MPH WHEN EVERYTHING IS CONFIGURED AND TUNED CORRECTLY.
NOTE: FREEWAYS WERE MANUFACTURED WITHOUT A REVERSE. WANT TO BACKUP? OPEN THE DOOR, PUT YOUR FOOT OUT, AND PUSH!

THIS NEW TANK IS A TANK THAT I HAD CUSTOM MADE FOR FREEWAYS AND HOLDS
ABOUT 5 GALLONS AND SITS UNDER THE SEAT WHERE THE ORIGINAL TANK WAS LOCATED.


T
HIS FREEWAY HAS BEEN STORED FOR A FEW YEARS. THERE IS NO DOUBT THAT SINCE THIS FREEWAY HAS BEEN STORED FOR A WHILE IT WILL NEED A VERY GOOD ONCE OVER ON EVERYTHING.
