Cool little cars. I did not know they even existed until seeing one on American Pickers some time back. I think you would look cool driving that around the track in Portland at the swap meet.

Wow !! Cool car..    It looks to be in great shape and should turn out to be a fun project... You will get a lot of attention when it hits the road again...And you won't have any trouble finding a parking spot on your trips in town...

[Chryco Psycho]

Different for sure . I will not say what I am thinking though 

[Rev-It-Up]

If it weren't for Steve Urkle,  I would never have known about these cars.  I think they are adorable and look forward to watching it come to life.

Very Cool Project!! A very good friend of mine picked one up missing the engine, his plan was to do an electric motor, not my thing but he lived in the village of Cambria & for that area it would be able to go all around town on a single charge.... Unfortunately he passed away a few years ago & his wife unloaded the car...

[Topcat]

Any progress on this @J-Code Jeni ?

Love to  hear how it's coming along?

If you super charge it, you can get both front wheels off the ground.

I remember reading about a guy who swapped a motorcycle engine in one. It could really scoot.

[Cuda Cody]

Engine is being rebuilt right now...  Have not started body work yet. 

[J-Code Jeni]

Thanks for asking @Topcat & Cody shared the status- we sent the engine to NJ about 2 months ago to be rebuilt. We have a few too many friends cars in the workshop to tear apart another car in there but man, I'm itching too!

[J-Code Jeni]

We got the restored engine back!! Such a cutie... one spark plug & all!    Some minor bumps with shipping which was quickly fixed by swapping out two tweaked transmission bolts. Overall, she made the cross country trip in a reinforced cardboard box pretty well! 

The next step is tearing apart the car but, we need to encourage a few friends to take their cars home in order to do it  so, we'll wait a bit longer before doing that.

That car looks like it came right out of a Disney movie.

Good luck with it!
