See New Link Below, 1925 Nash Advanced Six Roadster for sale by owner - Block Island, RI - craigslist Seller's Description: This is a 1925 Nash Advanced Six, two-passenger roadster, part of the largest of three series offered by Nash at the time.

I purchased it from a person who's relative had owned it since the 1940s, and had the restoration done sometime in the 1990s. *Work included: ✓Rebuild of engine, transmission, rear axle, brakes and suspension ✓Body, frame and sheet metal stripped of all paint and rust ✓Wood body framing replaced where needed, and all floorboards are new ✓All brightwork replated in sparkling chrome ✓Windshield replaced with SAFETY GLASS *Parts and supplies included: ✓Complete set of CORRECT headlights and "NASH" logo taillight with correct mounting bracket ✓New RI Wiring repro #0-gauge battery cables with correct terminals and lugs installed, new RI Wiring armored cable wiring in proper, assorted gauges ✓Four restored "NASH" hubcaps ✓Hampton Coach seat springs and upholstery kit, already completed, with additional matching yardage for door panels and trim ✓Many other additional new and used items included: ✓1925-1932 Nash Master Parts List (dealership parts catalog), 1924 Nash parts code, cross-reference catalog ✓Vast assortment of 1925- 1926 Advanced Six reference material ✓Rebuilt/restored Stewart vacuum tank (@ cost of $400 in 2006) ✓Rare, factory-original Elgin mechanical clock in excellent working order ✓Correct, screw-on, cast aluminum gas cap (nearly impossible to find) *Things needed to be done to complete car: •New canvas material for the folding top •Fuel tank cleaned and sealed (done previously, but needed again) •Dash instruments reassembled; possibly repaired/readjusted •Reinstallation of above-mentioned items •Reinstallation of floor and trunk boards (removed for access to fuel tank and wiring) Several details on the car were not 100% correct when I purchased it, and I fixed most, but a few remain and are easily correctable. I have owned this Nash for more than 20 years and am selling it only to help finance a motorhome I plan to buy. This will be an excellent car for someone willing to invest some time and effort into, since all of the really hard, expensive, dirty work has already been done. I have a valid Massachusetts title to the car in my name. Everything that is related to the car will be included in the sale. Compare this 1925 Nash Roadster with what is currently available for sale, and you will realize that you will not be able to restore one---or anything similar---for this price. Only cash will be accepted in-full for payment---no checks or money orders of any kind. Buyer is responsible for shipping arrangements and costs; however, I will assist with the loading of the car and the parts.

7th Son Posted November 4, 2023 Share Posted November 4, 2023 Too bad the seller is a few days late. Might have had better luck advertising it on Halloween 🎃. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ericmac Posted November 4, 2023 Share Posted November 4, 2023 I like the car and don't hate the colors. It looks like it has been close to the finish line for a long, long time. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leif in Calif Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 What's the opposite of "resale Red"? Apparently orange and brown. Actually I don't hate it, in fact I'd be interested if I had space and it wasn't at the exact other end of the country. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
