General Discussion / Re: 1954 Manhattans

« on: August 06, 2017, 08:08:34 AM »

My 54 Manhattan is still for sale, maybe the asking price is a bit high at 10,900. I really have to get rid of it and could take even a little less. This car is decent and could use some tinkering. It gets a lot of attention but no offers, runs great, has new brake shoes, tires and rebuilt transmission, I didn't get it a supercharger on it, it may have been removed by the dealer or never installed at the factory(special order?, no one can answer). I have more than what I am asking in it but can't seem to sell it, I would have to think twice before buying another "orphan car".

Cars For Sale & Wanted / 1959 Morris Minor For Sale

« on: July 02, 2017, 07:58:46 AM »

I know this isn't a Kaiser but---This is a car rarely seen in the USA and hardly ever at car shows on Long Island. It was destined to be a daily driver but could easily be improved upon and turned into a show car as most of the hard work has been completed already.
Unfortunately due to health problems the car must be sold, it runs and drives very well and research says it gets 40 MPG. All of the hard work has been done on this car and with better paint it could easily become a car that could be shown at local meets, this car definitely gets lots of attention.
Here is a list of some of work done and parts replaced,New battery. Complete Brake system, including 6 new wheel cylinders, new brake lines, New Master cly. Floor panels replaced, New Carpet, FM stereo, Professionally Restored Complete interior, New Radial Tires, too many items replaced to mention here but it is a great running car with about 90,000 miles on the clock, a fun car to drive. I can be reached at 516 455 9788 please only call between 10 AM and 6 PM. Asking price is 9,500 but will negotiate with club member.

Cars For Sale & Wanted / 1954 Kaiser Manhattan For Sale

« on: July 02, 2017, 07:50:22 AM »

For Sale a 1954 Kaiser Manhattan with less than 51,500 original miles. This car has free title, drives, runs and stops well, has original non supercharged flat head 6 cly, 118 HP, 226 CI engine. Several small chips in the white paint and a small dent in the trunk, interior is very nice but could use some minor repairs to the headliner and door opening trim. This car is great for someone that wants to tinker and make it even better. Everything works on this car except the items that never seem to work on cars of this age, which are the radio, fuel gauge and clock all could be easily repaired. This was the last American Year for this automobile with less than 4,000 total made in the 4 door version and at 3,375 lbs is a huge car, this is a head turner at car shows and on the street. A great cruizer it has a newly rebuilt transmission (less that 100 miles ago), new radial tires, new brake shoes on all 4 wheels. Sale is forced due to health reasons, asking price is 11,900, located ok Long Island NY, but would be open to negations from a club member, 516-455-9788

Fid is on the money (as usual) I would never convert my 54 to 12 volt, there is no reason, find the cause and fix it rather than convert. 6 volts seem to work well.

Why do almost all of the ads for electrical items say "not tested" could it be that they don't work ? Well I already have a broken one so why buy another?
