Super rare barn find from historic section of town. In amazing condition considering it's almost 100 years old. I purchased this in 11/2022 with the intent of doing a restoration, but my circumstances have changed so posting for sale.

Car as original paint
At some point a few years ago the undercarriage was painted black but the fenders/body/etc all have original paint/patina
There's some light surface rust/patina but mostly rust free. The bottom of the doors are probably the worst of it & they are still really solid.
Original wheels
Original glass
Hand-crank mechanism for front flip-out windshield is missing parts
Weather seal on front windshield brittle & degraded
Original interior
Missing several of the original window crank handles - some were provided by PO but unsure of originality
Missing grab handles that would be on the rear of the front seat
Right rear door ash tray is present but needs re-installed & may need additional parts
All interior wood appears to be in great condition with no rot (A/B/C pillars, floors, etc - rot free)
PO put mothballs in car prior to parking in barn...kept the mice out but need cleaned to reduce smell
Original dash & guages
I am told the odometer does not work but have not tested it.
Lights in cluster do illuminate when you turn on power.
ODO shows 35k.
No original key - 2nd keyswitch was installed & I have the keys for that
Hand crank - not sure if original (or correct) to car
6V positive ground
Original motor/drivetrain
Motor was re-built a few years ago & had hardened valve seats insatlled so it can run on pump gas
Oil filter was replaced with a modern spin-on style
The roof appears to have been replaced at one point & will likely need replaced again.

Last ran local parade & car shows in 2019 & has been parked since. The engine seems free & I have no reason to think it wouldn't run but have not started it.

Titled & registered. I have a ton of paperwork from the PO (including pictures/receipts/etc of motor rebuild work, etc), service manual, & the original owners manual (which is an extremely rare item). Located SE of Cleveland, OH.

I bet the paint could be improved with modern care products. Looks like a nice car at a reasonable price.
