@FLJaws – Does this car have seat belts? Hard to tell if that’s what I see in the bench seat photo. Thank you! ...
No Seat belts. Those are sunglasses on the bench seat.

@ZoomClassicCars – Converting a vehicle from 6 volts to 12 volts means replacing its entire electrical system, including the battery, starter motor, alternator, and wiring, to operate at a higher voltage of 12 volts instead of 6 volts, essentially giving the vehicle a more powerful electrical system, often resulting in better starting capabilities and the ability to power more accessories; this usually involves replacing the battery with a 12 volt unit, modifying or replacing the alternator and starter motor to handle the higher voltage, and rewiring the vehicle to accommodate the change. A 12 volt system provides more power than a 6 volt system, allowing for better starting performance, especially in older vehicles with high electrical loads. Everything works on the car electrically as it should. Will check with the owner to see if any of the components inquired about are original or replaced. ...
