A400 on ebay I was just looking at a 400a on ebay and noticed the sed bowl , why is it suspended out that far? Is that something with these cars only or a owner mod?

Re: A400 on ebay The shut off looks right to me. The remains of a wiper hookup make it hard to see. The carb should have a sediment bowl/filter where the gas line hooks to it.

Re: A400 on ebay It a 400A ..... $35,000.00 is not a bad price for that car.... if you really want a " 400A ". Yes there are a few things wrong with the car but its a nice looking driver. Nothing that can not be fixed over a week time??? floor steering plate , correct carb. set up ..and if you really want to get crazy [ remove the head and put the correct head studs in.]Most of what i see the stud does not clear the top of the nut,,,comes up short .NO vaccum setup for wiper...but i bet he went electric.???

Re: A400 on ebay That is the sediment bowl sold by the vendors for those with the indented firewall. Plus the wrong carb. Plus,,Plus,,,

Re: A400 on ebay Y'all are nit-picking the shit out of a nice car. It's an indented fire wall, but my guess is he had the zenith sitting on the shelf, and decided not to spend the time or money (a lot more money) for a correct side bowl carb. The gas line and bowl are nicely done. One of the nicer conversions I've seen for people who put a glass bowl on a indented fire wall. 35-40k is a good price for this car. It's one of the nice A400's I've seen on eBay. Not everybody is gonna build a "correct car" and as far as I know no one that has posted scored a perfect score in fine point judging with their cars, so no need to critisize someone else's nice restoration. But i know several of you have gotten really close. I like the car and if I had that money to blow I'd consider buying it. There's my $.02

Re: A400 on ebay It is quite sharp! Little things easy to fix, would like to see it in my garage!!!

Re: A400 on ebay I agree with Logan and Steve, Peter, ... it's a nice looking straight... original looking 400A... Everything that is wrong is easily corrected.. .Is there one out there ( other than Peters Phaeton - Ive seen it, it's perfect) that doesn't need something? I agree.. if you were in the market for one it's a fari price at $35-40K.... in the same ballpark with other rare body styles of that quality. Personally I like something like the slant window cabriolet... but the photos of that 400A get me going too! The rare body styles are all a higher dollar... and understandably so.
Hopefully someone ends up with it that will do it justice... and take care of it for what it is. Larry |
