The bad:

Mechanic says 2 of the 4 cylinders are burned up. We had a mechanic in Asheville take the stock carburetor off and instead put a rebuilt carburetor from an 8 cylinder Ford. The mechanic in Indiana is guessing that because the carburetor was not properly rebuilt it was leading fuel on the outside and inside of the engine. His guess is that the gas made its way inside the colder heads and caused pitting damaged. The mechanic guesses that the worst case scenario is that the engine needs to be rebuilt.

Screens are torn.
Leaks water in the front.
Plywood on the step up into the back is soft.

Please kind in your responses. We’ve beat ourselves up enough about this entire debacle. This vehicle was a lot of fun in the end but not worth our money since we’re not mechanics. This is a great vehicle for someone who sees potential, loves vintage things and doesn’t mind a challenge.
