Location: San Antonio TX | Interesting car. Dual fuel for gas or propane. It runs and drives, and for only $1000 obo, it might worth someone's while. That said, this car has some unusual rust areas (and a lot of bondo that seems to fill them) on the drivers door, and could be hiding more elsewhere. But hey, it's a $1000 car. https://pensacola.craigslist.org/cto/d/1960-chrysler/6509759903.html

Location: Sydney, Australia | Please excuse my ignorance but what is that hose and connector on top of the air cleaner? Is it the fuel hose? Guessing aftermarket..

I guess you missed the part about the car is currently running on propane. Apparently that is part of the propane vapourization/feed system. (??!!)

Location: Perth Australia | Yes, liquid propane (LPG here) goes into the round thing on the inner fender (called a gas converter) and it is converted to a gas, which is then fed to a mixer (under the air cleaner) then through the carburettor. The converter also has coolant hoses to it to prevent it from freezing up. There are a few different systems, but if I have to like one, its this one, another system uses a big ugly aluminium snorkel thing that puts the mixer over the side of the engine.
The mixer works on vacuum to determine how much lpg goes into the engine

Location: Muskego, WI | Care actually looks mostly solid, but something funky going on with that door. This car is a steel at $1000. If it wasn't over a 1000 miles away, I'd be there to buy it right now! |
