Very Nice Dan! ....

I wished this one had been available before I bought one of mine, I could use a V6 in the litter I have now:cool: .... Looks like a sweet deal with plenty of thought gone into the conversion. Someone will be very happy with that "Kitten" .... I'm surprised it hasn't been snapped up already.

Additional Info on Series II

Added comments:

Don't forget the nifty space-saver spare that fits in the original spare compartment yet fits over the larger brakes.

The bottom of the car is rust-free.
There was no rot anywhere besides floor boards and those were some really small holes that were subsequently welded up.

When you see the car, check out the fire-wall. Smooth. Not stock, and some work went into that.

There are some sound-blaster horns for really getting other cars' attention, and there is a siren for hitting cyclists and not frightening them so much.

Gauges are NEW, and dash looks much nicer than photos show.

Car was in primer and I was worried about surface rust when traveling/towing, (from CA to KS Sept 2016)so I dusted the top surfaces with spray paint. It will come of with a sander in moments.

Interior was also blasted clean and repainted gloss black.

New tires & New wheels.

Coolant was 50/50 and poured in only 7 months ago.

There is a Pro 5.0 shifter atop the Tremec T5. Shifts are silky and very positive. Big aluminum ball on the shifter because I find that comfortable.

Steering wheel and horn button were not cheap to get.

New wiring harness with terminations filled with dielectric grease and very, very firmly crimped with correct tool. They should not come apart because I dislike electrical problems so much that I was overly cautious about that.

Glass lens turn front signals included.
Door cards included.

P.S. I'm back in SC working on my may Projects: Alpines:D "Keep'em-on-the-Road"

This is the kind of in progress project car that I've seen trailored to local car shows with a For Sale sign hung on it complete with build log and progress pictures that usually has several 'got the car show bug' interested guys staring at it.

If it doesn't generate interest here I would have it on a trailor come Spring time.

Thanks Mike.....

The Trailer'n Idea is a good one! Come Spring time when the flowers bloom and the birds sing;)

I have had lots of inquires on this little Gem.... I'm not in a hurry to sell. It is safely and securely stored.

May other projects are being attended too in the mean time. If it does not sell before I get it to Sunny SC, I'll attempt to finish a very nice little Series II V6 Project Kenyon created.

You have had some great experiences with yours and I am very proud of the work you have completed.

Keep'em-on'the-Road.... whether original, modified or altered...beyond recognition.
