(Wipers only work on occasion. Probably needs a wiper switch. Possible wiper motor.) - It's got new wheel cylinders, carb rebuilt, plugs/wires/cap/rotor/points, adjusted all the pedals, and some other small stuff. -Gas gauge works. (Speedometer needs a speedo-cable to the Left Front wheel. Not connected.)(Just a clarification... I have no idea what the milage is on this vehicle. No information on how long the Odometer / Speedometer cable has been disconnected. This vehicle came with another spare Speedometer assembly. So, I'm not sure which one is the original.) - Includes a couple of other OEM dash parts, some other miscellaneous parts (valve cover gaskets etc.), and some laminated binder manuals. Solid driver. Starts / runs great. Driven weekly. It's a solid example of a Type 181... It's probably straight enough to be a show car with little work, really. The gas heater assembly is not present...the original owner removed it. Relocation forces me to sell this. My loss = Your gain. -Clean NV title. VIN # is 1833024986 More photos available.
