Olympic33 Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 For Sale: 1933 Franklin Olympic 18A SedanThis car was displayed in the Bridgewater Museum on Rte 20 in NY for many years. Most of the mechanicals have been redone including a freshly rebuilt engine and drive train. The car is currently fitted with a Scout II rear axle with new 3.73 gears for better top end speeds (original axle ratio was 4.30:1). Aside from a modified driveshaft this a bolt-in installation using custom wheel adapters to mate the orinal wire wheels and give the correct wheel-to-wheel width. The paint and interior are in fair condition. This a very complete car with little rust and minor dents & dings. The car is located in North Carolina and the asking price is $10,500.Please contact Dan via email for more info and pictures: dfrussell@hotmail.comRebuilt engine includes: New Egge 0.030" oversize pistons Re-bored cylinders New pushrodsRe-ground crankshaft Rebuilt carburetor Re-faced flywheel Rebuilt pressure plate Re-lined clutch disc New poured main bearings Connecting rods machined and fitted for modern bearings Rebuilt fan with new hub material Timing cover machined for modern lip sealOther items include: Gas tank flushed and coated Relined brake shoes Rebuilt wheel and master cylinders New exhaust Rebuilt fuel pump New 6V electric fuel pump All new wiring New tie rod ends Rebuilt drag link New brake hoses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olympic33 Posted April 19, 2013 Author Share Posted April 19, 2013 I do have the original axle but am holding for another project. I would consider selling if required. Here are some interior pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
