I've only got this part of the car cleaned up. It's pretty dusty/dirty inside and out from sitting out in the desert for a long time.

It's a Zenith Blue Sedan with pop-outs, late lowback seats, original radio, and no rust. I got everything to work on the car except he highbeams. Still has the stock single port engine, including the original air cleaner and distributor. I'm guessing it's been taken up to 1600cc because I drove it 200 miles yesterday and it has decent power. Cruised it all day at 70mph. and still had a lotta pedal travel left. Had one of those hideous roof racks on it that all of the kids in So Cal put on their cars. YUCK! Can't wait to sell that boat anchor.

Just gonna detail it out and leave it stock. Other than the BRM wheels that I bought yesterday and the engine I'm gonna build. Nothing too fancy... probably just a 1914cc that'll run on pump gas. We'll see how it goes.

Well, unless someone gives me a job and gives me a bunch of money to build said engine, I stick to my original post. I'm currently unemployed, broke, and will be perfectly happy with a streeable 1914cc. I've always appreciated everyone else's cars with huge/fast engines, but it's never been my thing for my cars. I entertain easily and will be rather content watching your tail lights fade away in my windshield.

Like my initial intent with building another car, it's gonna be on a very small budget. That's the beauty of creating a car... we all get to do do our own thing.

 ;D

I may or may not congratulate you on your purchase. If I do, it will be without any announcement of any kind. As for the cape, there may or may not be a cape. If there is a cape, it will only be when I choose there to be a cape. And that cape is in perfect condition. Any stories about it leaking oil are a work of fiction. By fiction, I mean anything I may write. Or may not write.
