Nice '76 with Raby 2270

No affiliation at all. Looks very well done, but I haven't looked at all the detail pics to know about typical problem areas.

Killer color combination. Leather interior is primo!

I was watching this one, mostly fantasizing, but thinking if the price stayed low enough that maybe I'd put a bid on it. It was still below $10k when I looked last night, but it went up fast beyond my reach pretty quickly.
I think it had two owners in a relatively short period time, which if correct, seemed a bit odd given the spec; It's not an engine you buy flippantly to install, and not a build you buy as your first car without some thought beforehand I would think.

The first owner racked up a lot of the miles in the first year after I delivered the engine. The car was off the road for a lot of work while I was doing my part of the project, and he wasn't in a hurry to get the car finished.

I never spoke to the second owner, and didn't even know the car had sold till it went up on BaT..

Now I'm thinking about building a 914 engine over the winter to specifically sell on BaT :-)
