H0 Motor in 66 Vert?
H0 Motor in 66 Vert?
I have a November 1965 vert build date with what looks like an original 1500 motor and 12 volt electrical system. Can this be original? I know that F series motors were more common in early 1966 models with H0 motors not coming until later. And the 12 volt is a mystery. I thought that was not until 1967. Perhaps, it is just a very original looking conversion, but the voltage converter looks original under the back seat. I have sent off for a birth certificate so will know for sure in a few weeks - just curious about anyone's insights.
Thanks for the input.
That's what I have been thinking. It is odd though that the motor number matches the build date time of the rest of the car. Must just be a coincidence. The generator also says 7V on it, so it may have been re-cored to 12 V.
Thanks!
Thanks!
