The vehicle was fully restored by my grandfather, but has sat since his death in 2006. Will add pictures later, or if you search my older posts I had some there. Asking $8,000 obo.

I do not know how to start it, and I have been told that I should drain all the fluids and replace them before I start it up to prevent damage due to how long it has been sitting. And I do not know anything about engines. My grandfather drove it to special events with his model A club before his death.

I was told it has shocks and an alternator. I was also told that the engine has a "C" head, but he couldn't tell what the engine block was. It has a luggage box that comes with it. I am unable to find the crank. A gentle man that viewed it brought one and the engine does turn. We believe it had a stuck clutch but were able to roll it when I had some extra muscle help me out. Any other questions please ask...but I know very little about cars.

I think that's an A engine. The B has a fatter oil fill pipe. One thing different is the starter. It has a solenoid instead of the foot switch. It probably has an on/start switch.

It has a "B" head. It is also probably 12V with the Alternator.

We already know it has a B or C head. I think it is an A engine under the head.Show the other side and see if it has the fuel pump blanked off.
