VEHICLE HISTORY/
PROJECT STATUS:
This car is already in the register under the previous owner who sold it to me.



The car came with a original looking "Bill of Sale" from March of 1976. This member of the immediate original purchasing family stating mileage of 45, as true and accurate (in storage for some length of time). The next owner bought it in Lakeside CA and took it to San Diego CA then sold it to a neighbor. Between the two San Diego neighbors it was taken apart with intentions of restoration but alas sold to another enthusiast in Fort Bragg CA. It was put back together enough to drive on to trailer. I purchased it in March of 216 with 45,97 miles showing. I believe it to be accurate as I have receipts and bill of sales from all owners.



Since purchase I have changed it back to 6 volt also working on lighting, wiring and engine parts. My plan is to drive it for a while then do a restoration to be an enjoyable, very nice, daily driver.










Vehicle Modifications
MODIFICATIONS:
I would like to get the R-11 OD transmission working with solenoid.
The previous owner told me the car never had a heater since it was originally from Southern CA. I have purchased one and plan to install it if I can find dash vents for defogging.
