...I can't say I have a spare bushing Amy. Maybe Ron or Neil... I did however seek out some new photo ops. With the air show successfully over and my "train nut" brother in town - we took a little trip this evening ;-)

...I just spoke with Terry the owner who said the car was repainted about 15 years ago because it was fading. He didn't think about adding the stripes at the time. He also said the engine rebuild was because it had ingested a screw though the carburetor after a tune up. At any rate - I read...

...Perfect! Then maybe instead of a ride, we'll get to drive!! ;-)

Amy, it's not needed in this case, but I sure wouldn't suggest you not get a Marti.

...I'm not going anywhere Rob, 'just didn't want Jason mad at me again. He's my only shot at ever getting a GT40 ride & I don't want to screw that up ;-)

Nice presentation Scott! Indeed, a "rack" as that full of GT/CSs would be something, but what you have very impressive :-)

...Thank you gentlemen and keep the comments coming. Scott, I will ask about the stripes. He has no computer and not overly familiar with e-bay. I will also give you his phone # if you're interested. He contacted me to see if I would buy it, but no room... so I said I would get as realistic...

...few more... Please feel free to ask any questions :-) Thank you!

...Engine and underside...

...for this one-owner fully documented J-code in Nevada City, CA. The owner is considering selling because he hasn't driven it much and has used its former garage for personal storage for some time. He bought it new in Grass Valley in April of '68. Total mileage is 117K with complete engine...

...Time to get everyone out from under rocks and start openly driving, showing and enjoying these magnificent cars again. The combined experience shared and fellowships maintained being the ultimate by-product!..

Dave, I will PM his number to you. Tell him I sent you. The $1,200 is for complete long block rebuild, but would not include labor for removing and installing the engine and accessories. Do call him however....and have a chair handy as he will share everything you need to know openly...

Dave, although not inherent, your 302 4v may also be sluggish for a lot of reasons...timing...carbueration...dirty air filter, etc... Believe me, a properly tuned J-code is a real performer! Also, I had a 351W in a Mach I with 196K miles, sloppy mains and hardly any oil pressure, but was...

Dave - very sorry to hear of this and I know how you feel! It's anyone's guess what may or may not happen if you drive it much. Usually low oil pressure shows up in form of a noisy valve train as a warning. I would only add that depending on where you are and resources, a complete rebuild of...

...All very good advice :-) another thing I've sometimes done is drain (change) oil across some bar magnets and run the magnet across & through the pan of oil to help evaluate. Minuute sludge is one thing, but metal chips are another...

...Was the engine overhauled as part of the restoration? If so, there could be a small amount of "break in" shavings in the pan. I mean small..., but if its making metal and low oil pressure, I'd pull it down. True - compression can still be good and performance outstanding, but worn, loose &...

Amy, not at all surprising to we who know you, tested you, helped you and duly impressed by you...

...Most deserving through applied and proven innovation...

...My pleasure, really. Although a clone, this car commands a lot of attention as a catalyst for discussion of the real deal :-)

Hey spoiler, They're actually American Racing rims with 225/50 R16 tires. Disc brakes up front and so far, yearly maintenance of wheel bearings...
