I need a little info on this car.

Post by a187lbird »

Hi everyone I have a few questions about this car, i believe its a wcm pro stock with a PETCO 45cc and non pneumatic tires and hydraulic rear axle brake.

Is it all original?

How rare is this car and parts?

How much is it worth?

Are those the original brakes? And if not who made them?

And is that master cylinder stock or home brew?

Any and all help is greatly appreciated I am trying to help a friend out with everything there is to know about his new car, he isn't selling it but he would like to know what he has in his hands. Here are the photos and sorry about the quality.

It looks like a WCM. The front suspension is identical to my WCM GN.That 2 speed is rare.As for the braking system.I'm not sure.It could be a option. Normally a strap would go around the clutch bell .And your clutch bell is not in the same place as my GN.Where is the master cylinder mounted?It looks like they used a shock for the master cylinder.Good idea.If you ever take the caliper apart I would love to see pics of the insides.

Thank you all for the help and information, it is greatly appreciated.

He was originally going to give it to his father once restored but knowing now how much it is worth, he is contemplating selling it. I will let you all know what his final decision is once he figures out if he wants to sell or not.

Also I will be posting his restoration photos and the master cylinder pictures as I receive them for everyone's enjoyment. :D

sorry for duplicate photos and for being out of order, like the 2 speed (last photo) was before polishing after polishing is on car.
