I've only driven and owned the one roadster I have. A bone stock '67 1600
4-speed, and now modified to a stroker with a five speed, GB dizzy and the
late, Type B (RCB) steering box. Can I say I've "owned" and driven two
roadsters now?

I like the early flat panel dash, larger engine and tighter steering better
in the modified version.

short windshield with either engine, but that is not an option as I am too
tall to drive them. But I must say, my 1600 is getting a five speed tranny
eventually. It just begs for one more gear, even more so since I started
running a GB dizzy. And one of the two runners might end up with a flat dash
as I love that look as well.
