A lot of people have asked what it would take to buy it. One old guy did laughingly offer me 120K.he said that was every penny he had. IF IF I was interested It would have to be over 200k oz but its like everything , its worth what ever you can get on the day. It is an unusual car but I dont...

Thanks to everyone. Larry 3 deg That was the best at the track using a pyro at 3 points on the tyre. I was knocking it off to 1 when I was on the street but I just leave it on their these days. It sticks awesome, very addictive. Jim

If the starter is drawing to many amps due to polling or bad earth/power issues due to connections it sucks the life out of the battery and there is nothing left for the coils. A sure sign of that is as you come of the key it fires. Mark use a volt meter not an ohms meter as it does not test...

Jason the gearbox issue. If it can be simulated in the shop as you said, why dont you get it to happen then drop the cable off and try shifting it manually back at the box . If it wont go into 4th then its the box, if it does go in then its a shifter issue. Nice work by the way,you could tell...

Did a re scotch bright on the car on my break. I decided to make some changes.I had vinyl stickers and roundals so I removed them. I polished and sanded in the stickers. I sanded in the roundals in the opposite direction and also polished in pinstripes. The first gulf pic is not coloured...
