Vehicle Detail

Relisting due to a non paying bidder 48000 miles starts right up with no problem drive it home new master cylinder whole new brake system new battery just rebuilt the zenith carburetor Only rust is on the headlight trim and its very small about the size of small screw head and that's the only rust I can't even find any underneath the car runs very good I have a video of me driving it I can email it to you body is perfect no scratches or dents leather interior like new with no rips or wear carpet is in very good condition and is like new too just missing the driver and passenger side floor carpet just in the front dash is leather with 2 small cracks on top not really noticible unless up close Comes with these extra parts: hood door fender windshield with the assembly 2 rebuild kits 1 carb rebuild kit couple misc. interior parts 2 convertible top frames missing the convertible tops Things needed to be fixed to make it showroom quality: turn signals, but hazards work not sure what the problem is blower for the defrost knob for the defrost control choke cable but starts fine without it windshield wiper motor I think, but it worked before I bought a new battery carpet for the driver and passenger side feet but all other carpet is perfect rpm, gas and temp gauge don't work speed odometer needle is broken but still works clean the engine bay a little I received this car about 2 months ago from a family friend for a wedding gift.It's not for me because this car is really small and I have 2 kids. I remember just before it was parked He had rebuilt the motor and it roughly has about 500 miles on the rebuild. When I received it the shop dropped the gas tank and cleaned it then blew out the fuel lines and rebuilt the carburetor. Then they put a little oil in the cylinders and cranked it then reinstalled the plugs and cranked it again and it started right up but had no brakes so I replaced the master cylinder. When I was jumping it the windshield wipers worked then I bought a new battery and then they didn't work.I don't know much about cars but it seems to run very well but I think the carb needs to be adjusted. When I drive it and come to a stop it seems to idle a little high then I tap the gas then it comes back down. It goes into all the gears fine and everything sounds good when shifting. I keep it in the garage now and the pics are of it in the garage. The shop said I had a really nice midget in very good condition. I'm not sure how original it is but if you want to email me you can and I'll try and anwser as many questions as I can. If you want to see it run I have a couple short videos of me driving it I can email them to you On Mar-15-11 at 22:32:24 PDT, seller added the following information: I'VE JUST NOTICED THE DATES ON THE PICTURES AND THEY ARE WRONG.
