Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1904 Pope-Tribune Model II is a veteran motor car requiring cosmetic restoration, with some mechanical work already completed. It retains many original features and comes with extensive documentation, making it a straightforward recommissioning project, ideal for veteran car events.
Condition
6
The car is described as being in original specification in all major respects and appears generally sound, although now requiring cosmetic restoration. Work has been completed during the present ownership, including rebuilding the rear axle, re-lining the clutch, and restoration of the original Loomis carburettor. The car has been repainted and the vendor suggests refinishing it to the original livery. While not recently started, the engine ran well during preparation for the sale, and the vendor reports that the car drives backwards and forwards under its own power. This suggests a condition rating of 'Good' (6) because it has moderate wear and requires some reconditioning.
