I found this sitting on the curb last night... The date code says it's a '60 and it looks the part..
It looks alright, But the engine is screwed Not a Pound of compression in the cylinder... Thought it was the valves.. But they seem to work perfectly and seal fine.. so I'm thinking cracked head or block somewhere..
Amazingly though, the old points still deliver a bright blue spark and frankly based on the age of the points this is well....er... "Shocking" :sorry:
As such, If anyone in the northern Ohio area would like it.. Please send me a PM... It really is a cool old thing.
I will say though, If it isn't gotten.. It will go from which it came.
Now for some Pictures!

I'm thinking it might have the wrong cover perhaps, as it doesn't have an Oil bath air filter, Or a fuel line.
