I think I got a good deal on this car even though it doesn't run. I bought it in Pa and it followed me the whole way to Va. The pertronix dist. the former owner had installed a year ago froze up. I removed it and the oil pump drive. I'm not sure yet but I think it stripped the camshaft gear. I was told it had low compression one one cylinder.

Great buy & wonderful bargain ..... no matter the cash price ..... three (3) million in enjoyment & entertainment ....... fits well with your eagerness & positive attitude.

Please keep us posted .... love it.
 
I'm crossing my fingers with you that it is an easy fix. The large cam gear is most likely fiber and are made to strip out easy. Without the gear who knows where the valves are sitting.

Best of luck and keep us posted.
 
Just totally mechanically restored one ...... bumper to bumper.

With a good body, good paint, and good interior, just look at a parts catalog .... mechanical bumper to bumper repair equates to peanuts.
 
Nice car, good luck, don't forget to change out that 29 light bar for a 30/31, early bars make the lights sit too high and have a strange look. Good luck with the engine.
 
Sweet car.
What do you want to bet you'll have it running down the road before the first snow falls.
Have a feeling it's gong to be and easy fix for you.
I can tell by looking at it's face.
Let us know how it goes.

Wow that has to be the best color combination I have ever seen. Wait that isn't my car. Good Luck with it.

My pickup was like that when I bought it. Put the correct '31 light bar on it and it looks much better.
