This beaut was for sale months ago, I remember that intake, how can one forget? I'm surprised to see it still available.

We will reminisce one day about the generation of men that saw a complex engine intake and though "Well, that makes no sense to me. I'm gonna rip it out and weld a box together and stick a carburetor on it. That will do much better"

lightweight?

"also got the weight down to 3000"

The pipes might've been counterproductive on that front. At least its a 4bbl.

Radiator only has hose fittings on one side, lots of grate ideas on this car.

At $3000 he's not asking much of a premium for that customization. Left room for a second 2-barrel? Would dual quads have killed ya?

Should have placed an early 60's Dodge Wedge cross-ram manifold on it and been done with it instead of the 2 barrel he slapped on it.

I think the only other car I've seen with plumbing fittings used in the intake was a Corvair dune buggy.

C"mon now,

If a roof rack is worth $X,xxx to someone, that trailer hitch has to tip the financials to make it a great buy! or "grate", if that's your thing.
