Vehicle Detail
This car has ALL of the performance upgrades. 1275 w/ Weber DCOE carb, oil cooler, finned aluminum valve cover, long center branch header, monza muffler. Rivergate 5 speed conversion w/Nissan 5 speed transmission. Front torsion bar with tube shock conversion, front disc brakes. Rear torsion bar (not a panhard) with tube shock conversion. Minilites w/AH center caps and Goodyear ST tires. All gauges and lights work. Does not have the speedometer cable adapter. It is still available from Rivergate 5 speed. A former award winning show car, the front and rear bumpers and supports and windhield posts were re-chromed in 1992. This car was given a rotisserie restoration in 1992. It is rust free having any rusted panel replaced at that time. This car has an AM/FM Cassette and working elec antennae. Since then it was showed and driven and has had a few track days. There are some paint dings and scratches on the left rear fender welting, bonnet at the windhsild wipers and at the top of each wheel arch - see photos. This car shows well and is great for a daily driver, British car show or local event. To be returned to prize winning status it will need a re-spray. No top, top bows or side-curtains. In Jan 2011, the car was given a new starter (lifetime warranty), head gasket, valve adjustment, and thermostat. The master cylinder and right wheel cylinder were re-built. I have been driving this car when the Ohio weather permits. It is fast, straight and stops well. The suspension is stiff, tight and great fun in corners. The car is located in Canton OH. Fly in and drive it home OR for an additional $600.00 I can sell you a single axle trailer to tow it home.
