Default 13-1 Compression ?

13-1 compression and a spool , not very street friendly.

Agreed.

Certainly not on any regular basis. Just finding enough octane to keep the detonation inside the combustion chamber would be enough of a challenge, much less negotiating any corners with a spool.

Seen combos like that "back-in-the-day" but not lately...

I was thinking "old school" and hoping he might have left out "convertible" in his description but he emailed back and said it was coupe.
Darn It !!!

I don't know the car right off from the add, but it's from New Carlisle, so it's very close to me. I'll bet I know the seller and possibly the car if I saw it. If anyone wants me to look at it for them, let me know. Jason

Not a bad price if well done.

The combination doesn't sound right to me. I'd have to look at the build sheet. The price is right, though. Plenty of room to move stuff around if you have to.
