!954 Manhattan
« on: June 13, 2013, 09:31:34 AM »
I've decided to sell my 54 Manhattan It was a barn find from Washington state.  I have had the car for almost three years. It has 56,000 mi which I believe is real...but can't verify that.It is about 90-95% rust free, having been painted once in its life and still has a presentable original interior. Everything on the car works,including the clock, except the radio  I have converted it to a 6v alternator  but have everything to put it back to stock. I did a valve job replacing one valve. It has all new gaskets including front and rear main seals. New Belts, radial tires ,wheel cylinders,battery. Also new replacement rear tail light spears.To be a show car it needs paint and interior, but very useable as is. The spare parts to go with it are:the wide whites that were on it when I got it...rebuilt distributor mallory dual point dist,wiper motor,rear bumper center,widow shade side stainless,left lower tail light lense,wide lower stainless to replace some that is dented,kaiser manhattan scripts that are missing, a couple of repairable speedos, right vent glass,and the front bumper guards that need rechrome .I'm sure there are a few more things. I will  put in next months newsletter  Car runs very well.I'd like to see it go to a club member.  $5,500   http://kfclub.com/forum/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=3990.0;attach=968

As they say, pictures are worth a thousand words! Post a few and perhaps someone here will be interested.

I hope this will go to a club member too.  This is a nice looking car, and I hope someone in the club will take it.

I would be willing to bring the car to Ann Arbor for transport , for the cost of the fuel to do so
