I figure 20 years of sitting outside under a tarp and then even worse taken to school shop.

50 lbs at operating temperature

This car is now very nearly completely done. Sure to find something else, but not now.........And 12 years later, I'm starting to fix things that were new when we built the car. It's pretty well de-bugged!

Here is a link to the car , that in a moment of insanity I bought.
Then one day started looking it over and one thing led to another. Carbs and distributor were a disaster but mostly spare pieces to get it going. It is actually a rare car. It is a L country of origin( Canadian) 1968 with steel dash and wide tunnel, negative ground full synchro
