That VW looks like a prop from the 1984 film.

It looks like it was designed by someone who thought that the VW Thing was far too curvy and aerodynamic. Not that I object, just saying...

Literally driving it around the block will probably do more harm than good unless he makes sure it gets nice and hot.

To paraphrase a certain recently-disgraced comic actor - they go straight up and straight down 6.9 IDI made 170ish HP and 315 ft/lbs 5.9 magnum 230 HP and 325ft/lbs The 6.9 was a turd. It burned oil, it was decent on fuel, but thats about it. Even the 7.3 was a turd, and only until the Power Stroke came out is when they started getting the big power gains.

EvellSnoats posted:Can't believe this has been up for 16 days. The Mark V isn't really worth owning unless you like burning money and not going fast. The engine got like 9mpg and only had like 200hp from a 460. It's a fun car to drive, in the same way all the big Fords from the 70's are fun to drive, but the Mark IV is worlds better in just about every way and they're basically the same price these days. Or get a Mark III and get all the best aspects. edit Oh and it's loving pink. There weren't any women buying new personal luxury cars in the late 70's and there aren't buying them now.

http://sfbay.craigslist.org/sfc/cto/5143614565.html Well, I have decided to sell my 1964 Baja Karman Ghia. We just bought an old house in Nevada City and are going to need the extra funds soon to make it our own. This rare beast was built in the late1970's and still retains a ton of the period correct charm you would expect from a vintage race build. I was informed by the previous owner that a family friend built it for competition and ran it in the 1979 and 1981 Baja 1000. It still retains most of the original race equipment (roll cage, front and rear sub frames, Steering brakes, chassis skid plate, suspension etc) but has since had a more streetable motor installed (1,600 dual port) and new seats and harnesses within the last year. I bought this Baja Ghia because in all my years as an air cooled VW enthusiast, I have never seen another one. It is a great grocery getter/show car and receives a LOT of looks and smiles wherever it goes. Here are some of the new items installed on the car within the last 2 years. . . New Seats/harnesses, tail light lenses, roll bar padding, KC Highlight front auxiliary headlamps, Windshield, front and rear windshield rubber, fire extinguisher, complete brake system (hoses, shoes, master and slave cylinders), fuel pump, bowden tube, shift bushings, electric choke mechanism, fuel lines, synthetic oil change, Interior and exterior (matte Huggar Orange) paint. This Ghia just won 1st place in the off road division at a the prestigious Bugorama car show in Sacramento CA. This relic has lived it's entire life in CA and is 100% rust free. Please feel free to call Five3zero-five59-65one8 to set up an appointment to view. I am accepting offers over 10K. Thanks for looking! ... At first i was like whaaaaat but then i was like daaaaaaaamn. I want to drive this everywhere all the time.

I want to see the rockers that these pushrods were going to actuate, because it looks an awful lot like he'd have needed to grind the heads as well. Just use a bigger bump stick and regular-geometry rockers next time, Mr. totally professional race engine builder who totally isn't a shadetree bubba with no clue and a die grinder.

It can be fixed, it's probably just not worth doing so. The guy who took the picture probably put down a skim coat of JB Weld and called it done.

Lol, that's the thing that jumped out at me, too. I can just see the guy hunched over block with a grinder in his hands. "Grrrrrrrnnnnnnrgh! Grrrrrrrnnnnnnrgh! Grrrrrrrnnnnnnrgh!" Hole appears, grinding guy stands up. "I could fix that right up, but I'm too busy building racing engines."

I think you mean one hole appears and they think they could fix that and keep going. But when there's two holes, then and only then, are they too busy to fix it.
