I spent a weekend going through that drive train and rebuilt everything I could put my hands on. Fired it up and took it out for some break-in driving. VERY serious fun. Not too unlike that 914/6 I was driving at the time. I wouldn't mind owning one, myself, today. The only thing I did to the car later on was remove the catalytic convertor and put some slightly larger jets in the carb. It was indeed a very fun car and I miss it like I miss my Dodge Dakota. Ooohh...no doubt. Damn near got killed in the Dakota on a Saturday afternoon just minding my own business. Only two cars, well maybe three, I ever had totalled. My Opel GT was also totalled by a gal who was 'running late'. That's gotta hurt. I've only totalled one, myself. A '62 Studebaker GT Hawk. White over Riviera blue. 289 Quad/4 speed, floor shift, and Twin-Trak Spicer (Dana) 44 rear axel. About 10 years ago. I'd just finished the restoration. Like 24 hours before. Was driving it to work when I was at CBS, and I got run into a bridge abutment by a guy in a Tundra who ran me off the road on the Ohio feeder. Screw yer crumple zones. That 900lb cast iron block/tranny damned near wound up in my lap. |
