Nice and clean, but a previous owner must have swapped transmissions and shifters...no pushbuttos.
 
Someone else here decoded the fender tag which claimed this was originally a 170cid slant six. Obviously over time the engine, now a 225cid, and tranny have been changed/upgraded.

Wow, that thing is a real cream puff. Somebody took very good care of that car. I can't believe, other than a very few minor flaws and the MSD, it looks like it just rolled off the factory floor. Very nice score.
 
Why cant I ever find one of these that I cant see the leaf springs through the 1/4 panel on?

ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS!!!

I had a twin to this car in 1971... put a 340 in it.... big mistake.


If EVER saw a car SCREAMING for a turbocharger (on the /6) this is it....

Three hundred horsepower is like falling out of a tree for that motor, and it's not just another 340/360 swap...

Whatever you do, PLEASE don't put a V8 in this car; that trivializes it...

Thanks for posting those pictures.... They made me smile, big time...

I absolutely LOVE that car...:cheers:

Keep us posted on it, please...

Here's my sad-sack 340 car...

Yeah, I don't like the single reservoir system myself. Will change that out for a dual reservoir system!
