Went to go look at this under the theory that buying one complete is cheaper than building it, and it’s a ripsnorter of a car. The guy who owns it, Joe, is a good guy and he’s got a good history on the car. Engine and gearbox seem really healthy.
It’s too high adrenaline for me, at least as it’s currently set up, the Webers and the exhaust that are on it are a bit too aggressive for what I’m looking to build, but if you want something to wake you up and be aggressive with this might be a good one. |

I’d agree that Ben’s heat exchangers with a good muffler will help civilize the car (heat and defrost are good things), and EFI would tame any induction noise.

I cant tell you how nice it drove.. Not intrusive at all. This car just needs 3-5k to make really easy to drive.. |
