The engine is either a 1600 or the guy used an early 1600 valve cover on the
1500 and yes it should have 1 carb. Moreover the rear emblem is wrong.
Additionally the shackles are reversed and although it's nice it's not 15
large nice. And what's with the rad hoses? Originals? Yeah right. If I saw
it in person I probably could find other faults also.
It irritates me that he represents the car as an "all original restoration"
which is why I'm so mean. Tell it like it is and don't BS people.
