Summary:
Used 1963 63,962 miles
Location:
Omaha, NE
Description:
I don't know for sure, but the mileage of 63,962 is probably original. This truck has a solid body that is mostly straight and has no rust. The metro has what looks to be the original six cylinder, with four speed manual transmission. The motor starts up and runs nice. It doesn't smoke, knock or tick. It runs cool. No water in the oil, or oil in the water. No dripping leaks. It has the usual slow gasket seepage of a 52- year old vehicle, but nothing that I see that needs repaired. No blowby. The motor is in really good condition. The transmission works great and the clutch is good with no problems. I did not drive this on the highway. Just fast enough to check all gears. The frontend feels tight and no clunking and steering feels tight. It's hard to tell for sure on the frontend, but I think it's fine. I knew even if I drove it on pavement, I wouldn't be able to tell for sure because the tires are aged and I think they are bias ply. The brakes work but feel like the need bled maybe. This has manual brakes and steering. It's easy to steer, but I would convert to power brakes if you'll be driving it much. If your in a small town or rural area, the manual brakes would be fine. No gauges appear to work except the speedometer. Headlights work but tailights don't. It most likely just needs bulbs. Turn signals act like they may work with some tinkering. The tires are 17" heavy duty but are weathered. They would probably be ok for low speed driving but should be replaced at some point if you'll be driving it much or putting weight in it. These do not look to be split rims. The fuel tank was bad when I bought it, so it's running on a temporary tank. The old tank is included, for a template. It will be easy for a fabricator to build a new tank. It's basically just a metal rectangle. The motor runs very nice but I would recommend a basic tuneup and new plug wires, fluids checked/flushed, brakes bled/adjusted, and just the basic stuff. There. Still available at ListedBuy!
