cdb Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 i'm new on this forum and just want to show the car I got last month. not much known other than that it comes from denmark, and ended up in belgium where i found it. not sure when and what I will do to make it a driver. maybe just make the engine running and fix the brakes and leave the rest rusty as it is. car is mostly original and complete, just missing the fuel gauge in the dashboard. engine and chassis number match a build date of october 1928. first registration in denmark mid 1929 seems ok. keep you posted on progress as soon as my austin 7 is back on the road chris 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Narve N Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 If you need parts - get in touch, I have been restoring Series 65s from Europe since the 80s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdb Posted November 7, 2018 Author Share Posted November 7, 2018 Thanks for the offer, it will take some time for me to get started. But good to know that also in europe there are mopar specialists. May I ask if there is any literature on the simple 65. I did find an instruction book for an imperial but it does have the bigger engine with the generator driven by the distribution chain. Mine has the v belt driven version i guess the 195 cu. Still need to decide if the engine needs to be cleaned inside, after my experience with a 1937 austin my worry is there is an enourmous amount of sludge in the oil passages. Ofcourse the austin has no oil filter so that doesnt really help either. Keep you posted Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 Try Ebay or maybe "Irv Bishko Books" for the '65' instruction book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sasha39 Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 (edited) You can send me a PM with your e-mail address and I'll send some literature plus a scanned copy of the '65' instruction book, if that will help.

FLYER15015 Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 Chris, Welcome aboard. Looks like a real nice ride. Like the folks above, get a parts book, a mechanics hand book and an owners manual as your first purchase. Use the forum as much as you can, as there are lots of us that have walked your path and we can show you where all the rocks are. The internet also has been a very valuable resource for all of us, so ask all the questions you have about a specific task, before you start spinning wrenches. Also, take a lot of pictures. We love them and it sure helps the folks understand what you are trying to do. One step at a time and enjoy the trip. Mike in Colorado Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't reached the minimum number of posts here to send a PM, but if you've still got it I'd love to get a copy of that scanned book. Are you able to PM me so I can send my email? I just recently acquired a '29 type 65 4 door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
