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.

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,...

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.
