hey everyone.... i have been on here i guess about a month now, and i figured i would introduce myself...
i recently purchased a valkyrie, titled as a 1967 gt40. It has a chevy 283, originaly 5 speed zf transaxle, airhart brakes.. i purchased the car through ebay, drove to south carolina to haul it back to maryland. At first i thought i made a mistake in my purchase, untill the trip home when i had over 20 people literally taking pictures of it as we were driving 75 miles an hour on the way home..
if anyone knows the previous owner of this car, i'd love to talk to them!..
most of the car's systems have been dismantled, it was probably more for show than a usable car. the radiator was cobbled in, i have no idea what the gas tank is out of.. perhaps a beetle? go cart steering wheel.. ( the tilt feature of this im sure was not planned. ( i have found that a jeep YJ column with tilt works great with a little bit of shortening.. wiring was mostly speaker wire..
well.. i suppose that about sums it up..
i look forward to the first drive in the car... before im 50.. ( im 37 now ).
have a great day everyone
