I just couldn't pass this up.

Hold up, you're just going to get it running? Knowing what you've built in the past, that can't be the real plan, can it? 

There are two of these in my neighborhood.

Running for now. I want to shorten up the nose by a foot or so and add better brakes right away.

Awesome. 

I really really want one of those.

Very cool.  The lines on that are interesting.  Look at the slope of that windshield!

They're owned by a car guy. Probably not available.

Thanks, sleeping better already.

Cool. I collect vintage Crosleys too. Mine look like this though

Same company though.

We frequently have a hotshot in our shop that we made a dual carb manifold and header for years ago. It sounds amazing. 

There were a bunch of small bore race cars back in the late 1950s / early 1960s that were based on Crosleys, the Jabro was probably the best known.  http://sports.racer.net/chassis/jabro/page1.htm  I wonder if you can still find some of the go faster parts that were used, it would be fun to hot rod the original engine in that car.

There's a Crosley wagon in the Detroit area that's powered by a Harley  V-twin.
