THIS MESSERSCHMITT HAS SOME AMAZING HISTORY TO GO WITH IT . IT IS A MID PRODUCTION 2A MODEL MESSERSCHMITT KR-175 . THERE ARE ONLY ABOUT 100 OF THESE CARS KNOWN IN EXISTENCE FAR FEWER OF THAT NUMBER ARE OPERATIONAL ! THIS CAR STILL WEARS THE ORIGINAL DEALER EMBLEM FROM FRANKFUR, GERMANY ( I HAVE NOT SEEN ANOTHER ON ANYONE'S CAR ) IT ALSO STILL WEARS A CHROME "D" HOME COUNTRY INSIGNIA FROM WHEN IT TOURED EUROPE IN THE MID 50's . THIS NUMBERS MATCHING CAR HAS ONE-PIECE UPHOLSTER, NARROW REAR SEAT AND IT's ORIGINAL LUGGAGE RACK . IT WAS MOST LIKELY BROUGHT TO THE USA BY A RETURNING SERVICEMAN STATIONED IN GERMANY . IT HAS BEEN MISSING IT's DOME SINCE THE EARLY 70's . IT WAS ORIGINALLY BLAC, REPAINTED YELLO, THEN REPAINTED RED . THIS CAR IS COMPLETELY FUNCTIONAL . IT START, RUN, DRIVES & STOPS . LIGHT, WIPE, HOR, SIGNAL, SPEEDOMETER & ODOMETER ALL WORK . THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS UP & DOWN SMOOTHLY THROUGH ALL GEARS . NEUTRAL SELECTOR & TWIST GRIP THROTTLE HAVE NEW CABLES AND WORK CRISP & SMOOTHLY . DRIVE CHAIN IS NEW AS WELL . THE SUSPENSION FRONT & REAR WAS REBUILT WITH NEW PARTS FROM GERMANY . THERE ARE SOME SPARES TO GO WITH THE CAR INCLUDING A SPARE ENGINE . IT HAS A CLEAR IOWA TITLE AND A NEAR MINT ORIGINAL OWNER's MANUAL . ( ENGLISH VERSION ) THE SPEEDOMETER IS IN kph . THE ODOMETER SHOWS 25,343 KILOMETERS . THE LISTING ASKED FOR "MILES" SO I PUT 15,827 RESTORED EXAMPLES OF THIS CAR HAVE SOLD FOR $45,000 - 55,000 & MORE . THIS IS NOT A RESTORED CAR . IT IS ROUGH AROUND THE EDGES BUT NICE ENOUGH TO DRIVE AND ENJOY AS IS OR RESTORE . I HAVE BEEN COLLECTING & RESTORING MICROCARS IN THE RALEIG, NC AREA FOR OVER 30 YEARS ( I HAVE OWNED SEVERAL ISETTAS & MESSERSCHMITTS ) . EVERY NOW & THEN I SELL ONE . MONEY FROM THIS SALE WILL HELP SUPPLEMENT MY WIFE's MEDICAL BILLS . SHE HAD A HEART TRANSPLANT LAST NOVEMBER . THE CAR WILL BE ADVERTISED ELSEWHERE AND I RESERVE THE RIGHT TOEND THE AUCTION EARLY . |
