S O L D ! '66 1600
After owning this little guy for about five months, I got the bug for more
power. After much soul searching, I decided to just buy a 2000.
So, now we've got two roadsters - as far as my wife is concerned, that's
a no-no. Too bad, because this is really a sweet little car.
The previous owner had it for a few years, during which time he had
the engine and carburetors rebuilt and bought new front tires. Too
bad he didn't get some rears, too, because they're just about worn out.
It's got fenders and hood from a 69 or 70 car, giving it a more muscular
look than many early roadsters. The new front end is evidently courtesy
of the car's salvage title. Additionally, the body shop that did
the work had to partially cut the frame in the process. Unfortunately,
they didn't re-weld it, so the frame still has a partial cut at the front
bumper mount. I was concerned about this at first, but upon measuring
the frame and suspension, I determined that there's no problems resulting
from this. Whew!
Overall, this car is in great shape; the interior has been redone in
black leather, the top is really nice (after I got a new top frame for
it), and it's got some very rare composite wheels. The brake hoses
and shocks have been replaced, the paint has been buffed out, the heating
and vent system has been gone through, stuff of that nature. This
car runs like a dream - definately a dynamite daily driver.
