Picked up this '70 1.7 for $1900. Drove her home 110 miles over the pass from Auburn to Reno. Runs flawless. My first tailshifter, surprised me how well it shifts. Pulled the hills on the pass strong, another surprise from my first 1.7.

So now it begins again.....

Thanks gang, appreciate the feedback. Gotta love this place.

@Rob, damn straight we need to connect. Beauty is we can talk cars all we want and our women will be happily distracted on their own. I'm liking this. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

@RichT, you nailed the biggest bullet points already on my list. Now help me with the 1000 minors!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

@Jamie, we are looking forward to a super cool WCR!!! It's looking to be a great one. Thanks for your work on that front!! Can't wait.

I'm already driving her like I stole her, and her only response is, LET'S GO MORE!!!

Geoff, you knew I started the V8 route with my last car.... If I do the V8 track again it will be all aluminum, LS series. Not a heavy cast iron small block. This isn't the right car though. She's got some flaws. I'm thinking light, minimal, agile, air-cooled... maybe 2270.

Hi RichD, I want to see your creamsicle on the road...:rawk: Miss the PNW contingent.

Guess what? I've got a 2270 crank sitting at McMark's shop right now!
