Re: Bouncing coupe
It may come to that. The car has been sitting for so long, that just about anything could have gotten bad. The tires still have their tread, and are not dry rotting. Just another thing to check out.

So, to be clear, are you saying that the 12 V input chargers will accept the 6 V from the Model A system and still charge?
