Here is mine last year when used as a shuttle for a paddling trip on the Dolores River in SW Colorado. Tundra got us there, dropped off the ladies and rig at the put-in, Tundra pulled baja to take-out, left Tundra and shuttled myself back in the baja.
I am currently building it a new 1955cc |

markymark1, those are some big rear tires. what size are they?
They look like 275x75s?x15?
BTW: NICE CAR. are you planning on utilizing your air scoop, or is it just for looks? _________________ "In case I don't see you, good afternoon , good evening, and goodnight."

All cleaned, polished, and out for a Sunday drive. It's nice to finally have it finished and drive around. Just need to fine tune the engine a bit.

Ah, thought so. I had tires almost that size, mine were 275x65s. My stock transmission and a 1641 pushed them decently, but at a cost. even with my upgraded weber 44 carb, I was getting plus or minus 16 mpg.
If you don't mind, do you mind sharing some car specs? engine size, transmission, year? ect.?
By the way, WELCOME TO SAMBA. _________________ "In case I don't see you, good afternoon , good evening, and goodnight."
