THIS IS A NICE LITTLE ELF IN VERY GOOD COND. LATE MODEL ROLL UP WINDOWS, 1275 MOTOR AND ROD SHIFT TRANS. WAS IN STORAGE FOR SOME TIME WHEN I ACQUIRED IT SEVERAL MONTHS AGO. AFTER PULLING IT OUT OF STORAGE, WE DRAINED AND CLEANED THE TANK AND LINES. REPLACED THE SU CARB. WITH A 2 BARREL NIKI PROGRESSIVE CARB AND MANIFOLD WITH NEW K&N FILTER. PUT ON A NEW 1.75 EXHAUST AND MUFFLER , NEW WATER PUMP, NEW ALUMINUM 3 CORE RADIATOR, REBUILT THE BRAKE MASTER AND GOT HER ON THE ROAD. SHE RUNS REALLY WELL WITH LOTS OF PEP, THE ROD SHIFT TRANNY SHIFTS PERFECTLY THROUGH ALL GEARS WITH NO GRIND OR ISSUES. HAS GREAT MANNERS ON THE HIGHWAY WITH SUPER TIGHT AND RESPONSIVE STEERING. HAS A SLIGHT HESITATION ON ACCELERATION WHICH IS A CARB SETTING ISSUE AND THE BRAKES STILL NEED A LITTLE ATTENTION. SHE WILL STOP OK BUT NEEDS A DOUBLE PEDAL PUMP TO GET A GOOD FEEL. EMERGENCY BRAKE WORKS FINE AND ODOMETER WORKS AS WELL. IT WILL NEED SOME TLC TO BE TRULY ROAD WORTHY BUT A NICE LITTLE CAR. A GOOD WEEKEND OF EFFORT WOULD SORT OUT THE DETAILS. ALL GLASS IS GOOD AND ALTERNATOR KEEPS BATTERY AT 12.5 V THIS IS A VERY PRESENTABLE ELF FOR IT'S AGE AND MODEL. VERY RARE IN THE US AND THE ELF WAS ONLY MADE FOR 8 YEARS (61-69) PLEASE CALL WITH ANY QUESTIONS 269-266-2171 ASK FOR ANTHONY . . On Jul-23-15 at 08:48:53 PDT, seller added the following information:
