Unfortunately it is missing the shift handle. Does anyone out there have a Warford shift handle in your parts pile that you would part with...

"the oil on the dip stick is as clear as if you changed it yesterday." That is because after sitting for 66 years all the impurities in the oil settled to the bottom. If the motor was started without cleaning the pan the oil would quickly turn black, and likely be thick with crud. He's dr...

what a really nice find. you can feel the energy of the person that parked it and seems to have just walked away from it. do you have any history on it? did that owner die, why was it decomissioned? have you started it? very nice. kevin in ct Kevin: It was bought by a friend of mine here in our loc...
