The damper cap on the top of the LHS SU carburettor and possibly more internal components are missing. |

Tired paint where someone tried to polish it up and left all sorts of buffing marks in it. I guess one can expect that. I would like to find out how it got from an episode on Pawn Stars to where someone put a Tesla drive train in it. |

Interesting conversion, wonder what the range is with the 75 battery pack running the steel body shell etc. I would of gone for a lighter air suspension set up. Interesting that the wheels are 16" with the wheel embellishers not looking out of place. Clever stuff for saving the planet! |

I used to think that I have the cars I want and I will never buy another. That has changed, and I'm going to buy a Lottery ticket. The new car will have a Bentley rad, of course. Alan D. |

G'day everyone,.... David for the win! And the funny thing is, they say it runs great! I would have thought the missing cap would have made it run worse,... Graham. |

Something as small as a missing damper cap on one carburetor would cause it to run a bit rich every time one hits the accelerator and will effect fuel economy, but one would not really notice it on an automatic. |
