JamieP Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 Good luck with the sale, Ive seen this car when Nigel was finishing it off and it all looked very impressive:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannysupratt Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 would be interesting to see some pictures, also what sort of power is it running? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Angry Koala Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 if it does not sell i will take with me,but seems a waste as there are not many shows etc etc to go to in cornwall... Cornwall has in fact been celebrating road links to the rest of the UK since 1987....... Keep hold of it and have even more fun on the drive to and from the shows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tooquicktostop Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 Very nice indeed, I would love to own this car, I was wondering about the power figures, the ftlb torque figure seems low for such a big engine, my 305 Chevy engine makes 245 BHP and 311 ftlb and its 25 years old , do you think that figure was correct ?

Ah that makes sense then, I am sure that set up is making much more power than you have stated, which would have been a good bartering tool if I had the space for another car ! I think this car has HUGE potential Stand by my first post though, stunning car and very much one I would like to own Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
