MochetVelo Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 (edited) Not my car, but I got a look at real barn-find Metz yesterday; a 1917 Model 25 touring. It's been parked for around 50 years, and has a completely oxidized patina, but no rust-through and a nice, straight body. The wood looks good, also. The car seems amazingly complete and original, including both bottom pans (engine & transmission cover), the tops bows (and dry-rotted canvas), original upholstery... even the side curtains. In fact, the only missing part I could identify was one of the hub caps. It even has a set of pretty green Splitdorf plugs. The tires hold air and the steering is not sloppy. Original linoleum floorboards with clutch instruction plate are there, Gray & Davis head lamps. As I say, it's not my car, but contact me and can give you the seller's contact info. I think it can be had for $6500. Located in se PA. Phil Edited June 27, 2018 by MochetVelo (see edit history) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MochetVelo Posted July 10, 2018 Author Share Posted July 10, 2018 I paid about the same money for my Metz roadster, but the missing parts added thousands to that price. I never found any Metz parts at Hershey, either. In short, it's nice to have a car that's all there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cxgvd Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 I have a complete windshield for a Metz hanging on a nail, original and unrestored, looking for a new home, like the one in the photo. Located in Ontario about an hour east of Detroit. Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
