Vehicle Detail
This is my 1964 Townie that I bought a few years ago in Northern California. It has very low mileage and ran so-so when I bought it. Since then I have gone through the entire drive train and made sure that everything works the way it was designed to. The radiator has been rebuilt and re-soldered, I installed a brand new water pump along with all rubber connectors. Installed a new thermostat, rebuilt the carb, serviced the oil bath air filter, put in new points, spark plugs, distributer cap and rotor. I installed new rubber seals under the spark plug cups (they were original & leaked)The motor had a miss in it and I found 2 cylinders did not have proper compression. The problem was the cylinder head which I had professionally gone through for over $525.00. The rough running dissappeared. The hydraulic clutch and 4 speed transmission worked properly, I simply changed the hydraulic fliud. The left rear hub was broken and I found a few guys on the internet who have a lot of used parts for Townie's, the hub was replaced. I found 4 new drums as well and installed them . The brake shoes, wheel cylinders and all brake lines (including the stainless ones in the engine compartment) have been replaced. I had the original wheels sandblasted and powder coated gloss white with dark green pinstripes before installing brand new tires. All 4 hubcaps are original and I had the red pinstripes redone to match original. All dash lights have been replaced and work properly. The reostat for the dash lights is new and works to dim the lights. The glass is all there and the 2 front window regulators work properly as do the wing windows. The body is original and has been on the west coast its entire life. NO SALT! Minimal rust in a couple of small areas on the body (see pics), nothing on the frame. This is an easy fix, especially as most Townies get rust at the roof line or above the rear fenders but this unit is clean and has none of that. The 3 original seats are installed as when they left the factory, the back 2 rows have the original factory upholstry on them. The dash has never been cut. Not very many 2wd, slant 6, 4-speed Townies were manufactured. This is an excellent candidate for a restoration. Call with questions. Matt (408) 204-8827
