My 1960 prince skyline - Engine Running Vid

Post by rustyra24 »

I recently just acquired a US model 1960 prince skyline. It is in pretty good shape . It has not ran in two years so I am going to see if I can get it running. We only had this one prince model in the US. I have researched and researched and found nothing. You guys are the most knowledgeable group of prince owners so any help would be appreciated. I have been talking to nzmax because he owns basically the same car but newer.
Thanks Clint

Welcome to the forum Clint.
I Love that certain elegant splendor and majesty that the princes carry. I wish there was more of them around.

First nice day Montana has had in a while so I decided to work on the car a little bit. I took the gas tank out and poured the old fuel into some power ade bottles I had laying around. I lucked out because there was not that much fuel left in the gas tank. It smelled and looked pretty bad. It is much easier to work on them the celica. I also cleaned the interior a little bit and found an old can of 3M. Here are some pics.
