LPG use to be more common for emissions testing purposes I believe but now a lot have been converted back.
That indicator light IS bulky!

seems like a pretty reasonable price, road test reads well apart from slight leak in the master cylinder.

there is another cheapy on ebay with a bit of a strange history.
rear wheel sticks out a fair bit.

Definately something wrong with the rear end - no dish as it is on the wheels and they have jacked it up so high so the guards wont rub. The hubs looks about level with the guards. No wheels are going to fit with that setup.

Something wrong? It's plain gruesome. Have a look at that rear shot!

Still, to be fair, the car does have other things going for it .... 289, auto, unknown provenance, needs paint, still on the boat, price goes up ten thou when it lands, the seller "knows someone" who'll "get it licensed" (?) for an extra $1500 etc etc.

Why would someone have spent slightly more for a car like Muzza's, that had been beautifully constructed, was presented in absolutely pristine condition, had a strong LS2, had a known Qld Cobra Club history, had full engineering compliance, and had current registration --- when gems like this are out there?
Tenrocca, Gav, leroy17 and 1 others like this.

Nothing at all wrong with the rear end, wheel nuts must be loose!
