CAR DESCRIPTION FROM SELLER | |
---|---|
Vehicle available for local pickup, or if Buyer arranges for shipping. If Buyer is a PA resident, the Antique Plate IS transferrable. Unknown if odometer reading is true. I am not the original owner. Starting the vehicle from a cold start is typical of a carburetor fed engine, ie, pump gas pedal while cranking. Original 6 volt system. Many new parts within the past few years including , but not limited to,5 radial tires, radiator, exhaust and fuel system, electrical wiring, and generator. Rear "wing windows" come off hinge, so I do not open. Key door locks are inoperable from the outside, but can be locked from the inside. Heating system does not work. I would be happy to answer any questions to the best of my ability. I am not a mechanic. I have all invoice documentation as to the restoration work performed. Drives great, but must feather the gas when starting from dead stop. The shift pattern on Fluid Drive is the H pattern on the column, except the two drive ranges are where 2nd & 3rd typically are located. Reverse is normal. Clutch is engaged, place in a gear, remove foot from clutch. Car now in gear. In low gear range, at about 15mph, foot off gas until you hear a shift, then foot on gas. When stopping, gear downshifts automatically. Don’t touch clutch until a new gear range, reverse, or neutral is desired |
