Pretty much a rust free car it will need a repair in the back as some one pulled a panel off and fender to pull a motor ?
he's asking 2,500 .00 i think it's pretty fair but i'd like it a bit cheaper .
I have not even started negotiations yet i'm waiting to on some more info of the motor .
I hope i can sell my 61 soon it would help alot .

That's the wiper control knob...You have to turn the wipers back & forth manually! &^rofl

Would be cool if it was a gas heater control...but I've never seen one that looked like that.

Is it wired to the windshield wiper motor? If so, it may be a rheostat for a 12 volt conversion.

I'm not sure how it would be a manual gas gauge unless it's some type of counter. I know it's not original.

You turn the knob and it blows air into the bottom of the tank. If it makes BIG bubbles you have a lot of gas. If it makes a little bubble sound, time for gas &^rofl

Shawn ,
Here's a look at the switch up is for a little air down is for more air in case you can't hear it .
It's on the other side of the knob .

Is there an un-explained hole 1.5"-2" from the trunk into the cabin? I think that might be a southwind heater control. What are the words on the front?
