1959 Berkeley
condition: good
cylinders: 3 cylinders
drive: fwd
fuel: gas
paint color: red
size: sub-compact
title status: clean
transmission: manual
type: convertible
It is powered by an Excelsior Talisman 2 cycle motorcycle engine, 4 speed transmission with reverse, front wheel drive by chain to an open differential. This particular model is a 3 cylinder but a piston broke last year so I set it up as a 2 cylinder. I still have all the parts (minus 1 piston) to go back to the 3 cylinder.
All mechanicals were rebuilt over the past 3 years and is in driving condition. The interior and cover are marine vinyl, more durable than the stock vinyl. When I assembled the car I did not paint it, it was fine for a driver. Other than the color and the stripe this Berkeley was put together using all original components.
I have a lot of spare parts including another 3 cylinder engine in good shape for rebuild that can be discussed if someone is interested in spares The spare parts are NOT for sale until after the car is sold. It is on the road now so needless to say I do have a transferable registration in my name.
Please feel free to call show contact info and ask about the car, I don't mind. You can e-mail but it may take me a day or two to respond. No texting please. Leave a message if I don't answer and I will return your call. Thank you, Bill.
