Under the Hood

Under the Hood Images

Original 302-2v motor. Member of the Windsor family of motors. Car is underpowered for city driving. Highway driving is an improvement. Runs cool even in Florida with the A/C going full-blast. Still burns no oil. Changed religiously every 3,000 miles. Double-snorkeled air-cleaner added for improved economy.

Suspension

Check out the dual exhaust. Nice throaty sound, yet quite enough not to wake up the retired neighbors

Wheels and Tires
