Well done nice car! Like the 4/2.4 that would be my next motor. Continue to tell us how it holds up if you drive it hard.

Nice car! Per WTB add in the classifieds, you had been looking for a year.

Congratulations! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cheer.gif)

Those are some serious tires tires/wheels in the back.
As mentioned, we will need more details/pictures. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

It appears to be way outside your original budget, but congratulations on the new ride.

Thanks everyone! It's a blessing for sure. The previous owner had it for 38 years and he took great care of it. I still have to do some sorting with the carbs (Weber 48s) and also replace some fuel lines.

I will try to post the engine build sheet tonight.

I absolutely love this thing. It's much better than the kind of car I expected to end up with. It was outside my original budget, but worth every penny.

It also came with a treasure trove of parts.

More photos and videos are coming soon

Thank you! Yes, there is an oil cooler mounted directly beneath the grille. I haven't driven it yet. Still have to do some sorting
