Hey, I had one of those. I think I even included it in my life total. That
thing was a rust bucket (midwest car) and the aftermarket pistons and
pinlocks conspired to keep me broke, 'cause they broke, twice. I also liked
the 6volt electrical system, the total lack of a radio and the twin SU carbs
that leaked so badly that if you got the mixture right at idle, you were way
lean at speed. Of course the 1/2 turn of driveline lash at the rear axle
just made it that much more fun to try to drive smoothly ;-)
