For Sale

For Sale, best offer.

1959 220S, black

Little rust, new tires, wood partially stripped for revarnishing. Upholstery shot, but the radio works

Car is located in New Hampshire. Don't want to sell, would prefer to continue restoration but I'm moving to TX and moving the car costs too much.

Pictures available upon request. Email -runnr@adelphia.net

Thanks

Is this the same body as a 180B gas model ponton? Would the interior components all swap out of each other?
Thanks
David

Does it run and could it theoretically be driven even a couple feet?
Thanks
David

No idea about swapping parts.


Fuel pump broke, when replaced it will run and move.

How long have you had it? Have you heard it run before the fuel pump broke?
Thanks
David

I've had it for about two years, slowly working on it when time permitted.

When I first brought it home from the barn it was sitting in, it did not run.

After new plugs, wires, oil, filters, and coil I got it to run. Still a little rough, but it ran. The shaft on the fuel pump broken while I was working on the timing.

I bought new rings and headgasket for it (still sitting in box) with the intention of stripping it down to the block, but never made it that far. It blew white smoke, but no notable oil usage or anti-freeze usage. Think it was just from sitting for so long.

The last year the car was plated for the road was mid 70's, so it was sitting for quite a while before I found it.

On the Ponton 220S, the rear doors are longer and the dashboard is different from those of a 180b, otherwise the interiors should swap out.

Happy Motoring, Mark
