Default 1930 68B Cabriolet

City: Lake Forest
State: CA
Price: 14000

1930 Cabriolet 68B - my barn find from a few years back, it has spent its life in Southern California and nearly 40 years in a warehouse. This is an extremely solid and complete example—I am truly sad that I need to let it go. It has a newly rebuilt B engine, high compression head, reconditioned radiator, alternator, new battery, new wiring harness, master power switch, master fuse, rebuilt Dick Crabtree popout, lightened flywheel, new clutch disk, pressure plate, release bearing, steering components, new muffler…and much more. I was rebuilding this car to keep and drive, so if it got touched, it was done to the best of my ability. The interior is decent although probably not correct. It is finished in a grey cloth, like a Sport Coupe maybe. The seats are protected by little old lady plastic, which I just left on while I was doing all the work mechanically. The top material is good, but the stitching is starting to separate and will need attention. Drives well, looks amazing! Your chance for a great driver or a start to your fine point restoration. Located in Lake Forest, California. Many more pictures available on request.

1930 Model A Cabriolet Convertible. California car—spent the last 40 years in a warehouse. This solid, complete car has history in California documented back to World War 2 era, it likely was sold and spent its entire time in California. It has a newly rebuilt Model B engine, high compression head, rebuilt distributor, rebuilt carburetor, new clutch, lightened flywheel, release bearing, rebuilt transmission, new wiring harness, restored popout switch, alternator conversion, battery, leakless water pump, hoses, relined brakes, recondition radiator, new muffler, too many new parts to list. Interior is nice, but covered by little old lady plastic. If you remove the plastic there is nice grey cloth seats. I left the plastic just to protect the seats while I worked on it. Runs great, licensed, and ready. The Cabriolet is a rare model as it was a convertible with roll-up windows. Easy restoration or enjoy as is! $14,000 Located in Lake Forest, California (Orange County)
