Here is a great looking custom for someone. The owner was a past member of CAC and has passed and his children/grandchildren have decided to sell his car. The info is a little sketch because it is second hand from memory. Here is the Granddaughters description as she was told.
"My grandfather was a member of the Crosley club for many years - Frank Stites. He has sadly passed away and the beautiful car has been sitting in our (once his) barn and unfortunately his children do not have the time or the ability to care for and utilize this car. I am not a mechanic and although it was used at my wedding, he was suffering with Alzheimers and has fiddled with it enough so that no one can figure out how to make it go. That said, It is here, we would like someone with some knowledge and love for Crosley's to have it.
Here is what I know:
Original 1954 24 HP engine
engine 56 HP when running 2x the original
Italian Transmission
- no synchromesh 1st + 2nd
Positraction Rear end
There are 2 "extra" engines in the barn too, not sure what they are but come with the car. Originally built for Jim Canna Racing Built in dining room of home and my grandmother designed the fiberglass body. it is white, canvas top when not in use."
I asked about engine, trasmission and racing history if any.
"I am going off my uncle and dad's poor memory of the the car. It is the original engine that he somehow made double the horsepower... there are 2 extra engines and possibly an extra transmission in the barn of which I know nothing about. It is a 4 speed. sadly, there is no written documentation about the racing, if there ever was any information it has been lost."
I asked if the garage picture was current and if the car was inside or out.
The photo from the garage is the one I could find on the computer, probably 5 years old, the others are very current. We pushed the car out of the garage - probably 3 weeks ago now... The grass grows so fast up here it is long, and the tires are a bit low I think. We will put it back in the barn with all it's covers today. We would really like it to go fast and to a person who loves Crosley's."
$3000 or best offer.
