Sorry that I have been absent for a couple of weeks, did not even send NIPPI on her way but I will this week, promise.
Been busy getting a ship ready for deployment.
Been busy buying what I really wanted, this thing is like driving a tractor on the farm, or a chevy pickup, only faster - no power anything. C1 1962, 4 speed, 300HP, immaculate inside, out and below.
This was in the collection of Jim Smith, a racer who won the Baja 1000 a couple of times and founded Ultra Wheel company, hence the plate.
He had a collection of 40 or so cars but due to his age they are being sold. This one had obviously not been used, it is in outstanding condition but has a myriad loose parts and latches that don't latch properly, a leaky gas pump, and non-working gas gauge and turn signal. These are little challenges that I enjoy fixing. No C8 for me, they do not motivate me.
