@BlackLacquer Thanks for the kind words! The rattling you hear in the driving video isn't coming from the car—it's actually from the microphone on my Meta glasses. They're a bit older.
As for the seat belts, yes, they are included with the car but are not currently installed.
We’re down to the final three hours of the auction! I just wanted to thank everyone for the bids, comments, and interest throughout the week.
If anyone has any last-minute questions about the car, documentation, maintenance, modifications, or anything else, I’ll be here and happy to answer as quickly as I can. I want everyone to have all the information they need to bid with confidence.
Thanks again to everyone who’s followed along, and best of luck to all the bidders as we head into the final stretch
@1962ford I need to correct my earlier response regarding the third-row seat. After confirming with the owner, the third-row seat does not fold flat—it must be removed if you'd like to utilize the full cargo area. Thanks for the question, and I appreciate the opportunity to clarify.
@rickonthebeach Thanks! This Woodie has never been to the Doheny Surf Festival. It did attend the Wavecrest Woodie Meet in Encinitas about four years ago, though!
Also, with less than 24 hours remaining in the auction, I'd like to wish everyone the best of luck. Hopefully this beautiful Woodie finds a new home with one of you and gets to continue making memories for years to come. Thanks again to everyone for the bids, comments, and enthusiasm throughout the auction!
@mike_rockwell Thanks for the kind words! The younger guy is actually me—I'm representing the car on behalf of the owner. I really appreciate the encouragement and completely agree; it's always great to see younger enthusiasts involved in the hobby and helping keep these cars on the road.
@rickonthebeach As for the engine, it's estimated at around 400 horsepower at the crank. We don't have a chassis dyno sheet, so I can't provide an exact wheel horsepower figure, but it should be in the mid-300 whp range, which makes for plenty of fun behind the wheel.
Sorry about the rattling in the video—that was actually just my Meta glasses. They're getting a bit old now, and I wasn't able to filter out the audio noise before uploading. The rattling you're hearing isn't coming from the car, just the glasses picking up some extra movement. Thanks for pointing it out!
Thanks for the kind words! I really appreciate it. You're right—we shot a good portion of the gallery around Redondo Beach and Torrance. Hard to beat those South Bay views! Best of luck back in your old stomping grounds, and thanks for stopping by and for the well wishes. Cheers!
@JackXX
Thanks for your questions! The horn and dome light are currently disconnected and should be reconnectable.
The car is currently located in Hermosa Beach and is available for in-person inspection by appointment. Feel free to let me know if you have any other questions!
