This car has had a lot of money spent on it recently to get it to be a reliable daily driver for me and my family. New radiator, carburetor rebuild, electronic ignition, brakes , new battery, 3 point seat belts in the front and added 2 point lap belts in back. Car starts instantly hot or cold, and has been a reliable car for me during the time I have owned it.
Automatic is cool, has a D position which shifts through the 4 gears as usual, or you can shift manually 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 as you wish.
1275 cc engine appears to have been rebuilt in the past, and painted in a harlequin - style multi color paintjob? Feel good, and has the power you would expect (about 55 or 60 HP) so not very fast, but adequate for in town use. Car is pretty wound out trying to go on the freeway - 65MPH about the limit without really pushing the engine. After extended fast driving there is an oil leak under the transmission pan, which does not leak during normal in town driving.
** Once hot (after long drives and oil gets thin) there is a 'tapping' from engine. I have not investigated, and I have driven car like this for about 6 months now. I do not know if this is a rod bearing, or valve noise, or ??
Brakes feel strong and pull straight.
Automatic operates perfcetly well.
Paint is shiny, and it is an older paint job, so has some chips here and there. No rust I have seen, and I have had it up on a lift.
Suspension feels great, as it should. No issues with the hydrolastic system.
Headliner in place, intact, looks good. Seats have a couple tears in the front, no tears in rear seat. Plenty of room for a tiny car.
Tires in great condition.
Has an old-look digital radio installed, gets radio as well as having an AUX input for your 3.5mm jack. Speakers installed in rear parcel shelf sound great.
Car is very straight, and gets a lot of positive attention. Only selling to raise money for other projects.
