ROCKET 88 - YouTube Video will open in a new window [isdntekvideo] THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN PART OF OUR COLLECTION FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS. THE PAINT IS IN OVERALL GOOD CONDITION AND SOME OF THE MORE EXPENSIVE PIECES OF CHROME HAVE BEEN RE-CHROMED. IT RUNS GREAT, HOLDS 30 POUNDS OF OIL PRESSURE AT IDLE AND HAS HAD CARBURETOR AND BRAKE WORK. THIS BEING SAID, WE MUST ALSO CONFESS THAT OUR LITTLE CAR HAS BEEN DRIVEN VERY SPARINGLY IN THE LAST 6 YEARS.. FOR THIS REASON WE WOULD PREFER TO DESCRIBE ITS OVERALL CONDITION AS UN-RESTORED. NEW PARTS INCLUDE A NEW CARB KIT (INSTALLED 6 YEARS AGO), A NEW MASTER CYLINDER AND A BRAND NEW RECENT 6 VOLT BATTERY.. IT IS A NUMBERS MATCHING AUTOMOBILE.. THIS HAS THE ORIGINAL 303 CUBIC INCH V-8 ENGINE AND AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION AS OPPOSED TO OTHER OFFERINGS WE HAVE SEEN ON THE WEB.. MANY OF THESE HAVE THE EASILY INSTALLED DROP-IN 350 V-8. OUR COUPE ALSO RETAINS MANY OF THE PARTS THAT ARE INCREASINGLY DIFFICULT TO OBTAIN, SUCH AS THE ORIGINAL (SIDE DRAFT) ROCHESTER CARBURETOR AND TWIN PORT AIR CLEANER.

FROMWIKIPEDIA.COMThe 303 was available from 1949 through 1953. In 1949 through 1951 the 2-barrel carburetor 303 produced 135 hp and 253 lb⋅ft , over 33% more power than the extremely popular and widely produced 100 hp 1949 Ford Flathead V8. 1952 88 and Super 88 V8s used a 4-barrel carburetor for 160 hp and 265 lb⋅ft, while 4-barrel 1953 versions upped the compression from 7.5:1 to 8.0:1 for 165 hp and 275 lb⋅ft.===OUR 'ROCKET' RETAINS ALL OF THE PARTS THAT ARE SOMETIMES HARD TO FIND===1.

THEIR RESEARCH INDICATES THAT IT IS, IN FACT, A STANDARD CLUB COUPE. I ASSURED BOTH, THAT I WOULD PASS THIS INFORMATION ALONG TO ALL PROPECTIVE BIDDERS. I AM SORRY FOR ANY CONFUSION AND TRULY APPRECIATE THE INFORMATION THEY HAVE PROVIDED.. THANK YOU, JIM RAYSIKOn Feb-10-18 at 17:43:51 PST, seller added the following information: AS YOU KNOW, THE LITTLE COUPE HAS NOW REACHED THE RESERVE PRICE AND IT WILL DEFINITELY SELL WITHIN THE NEXT FEW HOURS. AS I WAS GOING THROUGH THE EXTRA PARTS, I FOUND WHAT MANY WOULD CONSIDER A SPECIAL BONUS. A PERIOD CORRECT SUNVISOR. SOME OF THE CHROME WOULD NEED REPLATING AND A COUPLE OF SMALL BRACKETS WOULD HAVE TO BE MADE BUT BY THE LINE UP OF THE HOLES, WE CAN DEFINITELY ASSURE YOU THAT THIS IS INDEED THE ORIGINAL AND CORRECT SUNVISOR FOR THIS CAR... THANKS AND HAPPY BIDDING..
