Any CROSLEYS HERE?

Know where there is a crosley engine and transmission for sale in leavenworth, ks. Pm me if interested.

 

The Crosley was a 2cyl car before WWII and a 4cyl car after the war. The CoBra(Copper-Brazed) engine was a failure and replaced quickly with the cast iron (CIBA) engine. Both were SOHC with a cast iron cylinder/head assembly and a separate aluminum crankcase.
The engines were used by the US Armed Forces in many applications (generators, welders, refrigeration units, etc.) and in the domestic commercial world as well.
Available in a convertible, sedan, station wagon, sedan delivery and pickup and 2 sports roadsters, the SuperSport with doors, and the HotShot without doors.

After the automobile production ceased the parts lived on.
The engine as the Bearcat inboard for over 20 years until the factory burned down in the 70s.
The transmission still available from Kuboda from their garden tractors.
The rearend was used in Cushman Trucksters and other small engine commercial service vehicles commonly used in large plants.
First available with mechanical disc brakes, then hydraulic drum brakes.

Geez...I saw a Crosley heading up the street today! Barely made it up the hill. Beige with red wheels n whitewalls.....

 

I got one of these...all together. ($?)

 

And through all these posts NO ONE mentioned the Crosley with the ARDUN Ford V8 and 28-29 fenders which appeared at the NSRA Street Rod Nationals back in the 70s and in most magazines of the day!

AMAZING.

 

Although not hamb friendly...I always wanted to put a 13b rotary in one to mess with the leaf blower tuner racers.

Back in the late 60's a friend of mine dad had an outboard that was a Fagel. It was kind of a yellow gray like Cat at the time. It was based on the cast iron block. Had 2 carbs and 40 hp. on a 14 ft boat of the day it had all it could do to pull me out of the water on 2 skies. I could stop it dead in the water on 1 ski of the day. It guzzled gas like a fiend as I recall.

 

Did you ever get it?

Steve

 

How do you shift that?

 

where is Deuce Chev ?

he should post some updates, Jim?

 

I don't have one but I know someone who has a convertible with a factory ford flathead v8 in it. I believe its the only one in north america.. cool little car

 

How can it be FACTORY if it has a Ford engine in it?....I bought my v8 60 stuff for my motorcycle off a dude in Wichita that had a v8 60 in a Crosley.Looked good like it belonged there ,but hardly factory.

Crosley wasnt much of an automobile,They really arent worth much,hell even the parts are hard to sell because the cars are basicly junk from day one.They are kinda neat in a quirky sort of way.

 

That thing sounds mean as hell. I saw and heard it at last years Billetproof.

 

I'm here!

Check this thread.... things are coming together, albeit slowly...
