..at least I *think* it is, I know the dimpled shift knob, mushroom air cleaner, D regulator, short shock front end, and some other bits make it an early pan and engine... I'll get chassis numbers when I get back over there... It's in a barn in Northern CA, that's all I'll say for now 8)

Eric, that's kinda what I figured.. the guy said he knows it's been in there since he moved into the house in 1952, it was there in the barn then...
I's not mine, I am "negotiating" with the guy right now... I have a few more photos, but no Chassis # yet, and it might be a little while before I can get back over there and get it.

Yes, don´t wait too long. Try to get it asap.
If an owner made the decision to let it go, it will go.
To you or who ever.
The steering wheel and the aircleaner look really early.
The coil location looks post war but that might had been changed later. |
