BRIEF DESCRIPTION:
1960 Nash Metropolitan - its been in the desert area (Arizona)
as far back as we can track. Minimal rust if any on the car.
For a car this old almost unheard of around most of the country
(Not here in Tucson)
(last owner has had it about 25 yrs or longer)
he spent about 20 yrs restoring it, and then his wife drove it
to work almost daily from 2010 till 2013. He
was getting too old to work on it and it started needing
work to the brake system, rubber lines etc, so it was parked
inside a metal barn here in Tucson. Very rust FREE car thats had
a repaint or 2 over the yrs. The Red part of the current paint is
getting a little faded. I could have it buffed out if the car sells for
the new owner from a professional local shop for about $160 before
it where to ship if they wanted. It has a few chips and minor scratches around it, it was a daily driver for about 10 yrs.
Chrome is in decent shape for its
age.Stainless in very good shape. The car did get a partial resto
over the yrs. Paint, interior, things under the hood as needed.
The floors, rockers, trunk etc are very solid and original. It
looks great in person and the pics, and it is. Its just not finished
but was dont nice enough at the time to be a driver back in 2010.
DONT BID UNLESS YOU HAVE THE FUNDS IN HAND, apparently some people
who use ebay arent smart enough to understand the rules.
So if you have under 10 feedbacks, Ill be emailing you if you bid to
make sure you are legit, if we do please reply or we will cancel your bid.
Up for Auction: LOW FAIR RESERVE !!!
These cars are getting harder to find esp in this condition
that are still affordable to most buyers.
DRIVETRAIN: the last owner said the drivetrain was fine, but it
will need work on the brake system, which is why it was parked a
few yrs ago. My guess is new master and rubber lines for starters.
We put a battery in it, cranked it a few times and it fired right up !
Runs and sounds good too. Ive driven it around the parking lot a few
times, but it does feel like one of the brakes are dragging.
Transmission and clutch are fine.
Fix the brakes some and its on the way to being a daily driver again
Or car show fun. Would be a safe bet to flush the whole brake system
while doing the new rubber parts of course when you do it.
INTERIOR: take a look at the pics, the interior looks very nice for a
daily. Its not fully restored, and needs some finishing, things like
missing weatherstrippinginstalled around the doors etc. carpet maybe, tighten up the door
panels etc. Dr door hard to open from the outter handle, so for now Ive
been leaving the window down some and just reaching in and using the
inside handle to open it just fine.Factory AM radio I think
still works, but the speaker I believe is bad now. It is a great start and
Wouldnt take much to be truly finished.Dont think the cars ever seen salt or
snow. Dash and chrome in very nice shape for their age. All the glass is
goo, but the front windshield has a crack in it.
The windows where tinted about 15 yrs ago to keep out the Az sun
and heat and they are still okay.
EXTERIOR:the body pretty straight for its age, and paint about 10 yrs
old. Az has put some fade to it. Bumpers are in really nice shape as
is most all the bright work around the car. The body itself is in really
nice shape for its age too, and to our knowledge and past owners the
cars never been in any bad accidents. Think one fender bender yrs ago
on the RF corner. Super solid rockers, quarters etc. Check out the pics.
Stainless trim looks very complete and in amazing shape. Dr door has to
be opened from the inside, the outter dr door handle wont open it.
Nothing major. Overall the body is in very nice shape we think. It gets
alot of attention just as is. With some attention to the paint, it could
look even more amazing.
SUSPENSION:the suspension looks normal from what I can see .. but older.
Works okay as is, but Im sure will need minor repairs in time due to its age.
Nothing major to report being broken or worn out. Tires are in nice shape,
they are about 10 yrs old or so, but for in town driving probably fine.
These cars ride very smooth for their size and age and handle pretty well
due to their size etc. A set of modern radial tires would be a nice addition to
this car in its future.
Mostly just suface rust under the car, making taking this car apart, almost a breeze !!
Check out ALL the pics below ----->
it may take a full minute for them all to load ifyou have a
slow connection, so be patient AND looks for the extra scroll
bar on the right side.
Az gets maybe 12" a yr of rain and Az very dry climate.
more infoAFTER the pics etc. There are 100 large pics.
There you have it, probably The BEST represented NASH's on Ebay.
Shows you all the good as well as any bad, hope you appreciate them.
We put a lot of time and effort in marketing our cars and it shows.
People wait months for a car this solid to come up for sale
and even if you have to pay shipping to your area, it still beats
paying a body shop to hopefully fix a rusty car for weeks on end.
Having as much as the original steel on a restored car these days
speaks volumes.
Also, if you buy a car thats been "restored", who knows what sort
of surprises are hidden under new paint or thick undercoating.
People are flipping cars all the time when most of the jobs are
fast, for a quick buck and quality suffers.

the brakes. But shipping it wont be a problem for a fair price.
