MORRIS MINOR TRAVELER STATION WAGON. PEOPLE WHO SEE THESE CALL THEM 'WOODIES.' WELL, A WOOD FRAME SUPPORTS THE PANELS ON THE REAR PART OF THE VEHICLE, BUT THE PANELS ARE STEEL. THE LATE 50'S MORRIS'S ARE 'PRACTICAL CLASSICS.' THAT MEANS THAT THIS VEHICLE, RESTORED, COULD BE USED NOW FOR EVERYDAY DRIVING. FLOOR PANELS AND FRONT FENDER ASSEMBLIES ARE SERIOUSLY RUSTED. THIS CAR NEEDS A FULL RESTORATION, BUT IT IS ALL THERE, WITH THE FOLLOWING EXCEPTION: SOME CREEP STOLE THE SHOTGUN SEAT WHEN IT WAS IN MY BARN. THE IMAGE OF THE REAR LOAD AREA SHOWS AN ASSORTMENT OF ORIGINAL TOOLS, PARTS, SPARE, JACK, ETC. I NO LONGER HAVE THE JACK HANDLE, BUT I DO HAVE THE OWNER'S MANUAL! 2 IMPORTANT ITEMS FOR BIDDERS: THE TITLE CERTIFICATE IS LONG LOST! I WILL PROVIDE WINNING BIDDER WITH A BILL OF SALE, AND IF WINNING BIDDER LIKES, I WILL ASSIST IN OBTAINING A NEW TITLE. A NEW TITLE IN PA IS NOT EXPENSIVE, BUT IT'S AN ANNOYING JOB. ALSO, I NO LONGER HAVE THE IGNITION KEY. THIS CAR BELONGED TO MY MOTHER - SHE BOUGHT IT NEW IN 1959. I TOOK IT OVER IN 1967, AND USED IT DAILY 'TIL1970. IN 1971 WHEN I WAS DRAFTED, I DROVE IT INTO THE BARN, WHERE IT'S BEEN SINCE THIS FEBRUARY. I AM BUNDLING THIS CAR WITH AN ADDITIONAL, 1971 MG MIDGET ENGINE - IT'S THE SAME BLOCK AS THE MORRIS (998cc). MY PLAN WAS TO RESTORE THE MORRIS, AND PUT THE REBUILT MIDGET ENGINE INTO IT, KEEPING THE ORIGINAL MORRIS ENGINE AS A SPARE / DONOR. I REALIZE I AM NEVER GOING TO COMPLETE THIS PROJECT - SO WHY DON'T YOU DO IT? BIG FUN!
