Wow what a feature! Best case scenario for restore, what a beautiful car.

This was a tough car to drive , like a truck , but fun . Used to be somewhat common in the late 60 , 70 s . Some people used them as daily drivers . Those cars had to be driven often and hard , if not the crankcase would fill with gasoline , due to the oil been too cold . I always wonder if this engine would have been better with multiple carburetors ???? .
