Yes it was originally black special order delivered with airport gears. According to Ed, who worked on it when new it topped out at 120 in 5th gear at 7300. The 2.8 is built on the #'s matching S case.Quote:

Lovely car, great interior. Can you post some pictures of the interior?
Great find Bob. Thrilled to hear Ed was able to do CPR on that period-built 2.8! You've got my 2.5 beat by 2 years for longevity. Not many hotrodded motors built in the 70s are still going strong today. It's funny how people go to great lengths to preserve paint, seats, interiors, etc., but won't hesitate to tear apart an original (or period-built) engine just because a new rebuild might run a bit faster, maybe leak or burn a bit less oil or whatever. I've always been curious to learn how many hotrodded 70s-built engines are still in use.
*And I'd leave the CDI box - that's one of the 'good' Permatunes and very much a period-correct hotrod piece. Mine's still good after 36 years.
Just signed the papers for a purchase. Really excited about 1967S. Will require a lot of sorting when/if I decide to take it back to stock. The car comes with a three page list of original components that the seller, a vintage race driver, set aside. I'm thinking of racing it for a while then taking it back to street. Original engine and all body panels, NON matching gearbox. Original color was Bahama Yellow. Two owner car.

1967 S #305552
Originally Bahama Yellow 6605 with Black Leatherette, Pepita checked cloth.
Options list:
Webasto Gas Heater
Catacolor glass
Blaupunkt "koln" Radio
Loudspeaker
Electric Antenna
Rear Window Wiper
Ski Holder
so far the only missing part is an original radio. Everything else is in boxes to bring it back to stock.
Congratulations. It appears you have a car in very nice shape that also appears to be dry. Is there any rust?Quote:
