Dear ralfdean,
Thank you for asking, ere you go, neglected to photograph all the extra parts we had for this car; yes I have the taillights, oth glass lenses are perfect but the metal frames need help, here are also extra fasteners in the wooden box that came with the car. Regarding your question, Will it Run?"The car has been in my warehouse for over Twenty years, never started it. I had a lot of chrome work done and planned to get back to it this summer but things have changed and I have to get rid of most of my cars. As far as I can see, here is NO electrical system issues (Burned or missing wires harnesses). Also as you requested, added picture of the underside of the car.

Dear oldcarsforsale,
Wow! But this car has Fluid Drive, hich is a 4 speed (semi)automatic, ot a 3 speed manual. Yes, here is a clutch, nd no, here is no sift dial. The clutch is ONLY to select a range, e Drive, o, r Reverse, r to change from Drive to Lo, r Reverse. All normal driving, tarting off, nd stopping, s done with only the gas and brake, ust like a modern automatic, xcept that you have to lift you foot to make itup-shift. At stops, ou only use the brake. You do not have to manually shift to Neutral. You will note that there is no position that corresponds to !st on a manual. There is only Drive, o, nd Reverse, hich are in the same positions as 3rd, nd, nd Reverse. - mmikejbenne
