1951 ford coupe
 

friend of mine let me barrow his 1951 ford coupe for the summer if I like it I can buy it

but he bought it with shaved door handles do they make un locker for 6 volts like they do for 12 volts if I for get to leave the vent window unlocked I cant get in

couple pics of the car

Put the door handles back on... The one time I had experience with door "poppers" they used a solenoid like found on bosch VW starters. The early 60s VWs were 6 volts so I am sure you can get 6 volt solenoids.

it is not my car to put a handle back on

Re: 1951 ford coupe
 

If you want information on unlockers check with an auto stereo installer, they do that work also.

That ain't a coupe; it's a tudor sedan with funky back windows.

Re: 1951 ford coupe
 

I was just getting ready to say that too.

What up with the model A and the 56? in the barn? I was kidding about the handles. Not so much about the solenoids. I used an aftermarket alarm with door unlock remote to activate a relay running the solenoids.

You might what to reread your first post, LOL! "friend of mine let me barrow his 1951 ford coupe for the summer if I like it I can buy it" Did something change?

Re: 1951 ford coupe
 

No nothing changed don't know he would sell it or not never ask him cause don't have the money to buy it at this time

Re: 1951 ford coupe
 

Just wondering; what's it got for an engine/transmission?

Re: 1951 ford coupe
 

Flathead 8 3 speed overdrive

Re: 1951 ford coupe

Re: 1951 ford coupe
 

drive train is all stock but the wheels starting is some time fun if you touch the gas it will flood but on Sunday we had to prim it it has sat a lot it show 33000 on the speed the guy he got it from says that is all on it

there is rust there is mud in the so what it is not 15000.00 dollar car maybe 5000.00 or so

Re: 1951 ford coupe
 

yep when they work good they are nice had one in a 1953 2 door sedan with a flathead nice driving car

I need to find a way to get in the car if I forget to unlock the vent window

Re: 1951 ford coupe
 

Leave both of the vents unlatched; that way, you have a backup "Entrance System".
