In July of 2005 Bob posted on Yahoo:  “I have a problem with the 4‐speed transition on 0126. I went to  take it out for a ride the other day and I thought I had it in first gear….let off the cutch and the car went  backwards.  So I tried again and same thing ….car is in reverse. I tried other gears, 2nd, 3rd and the car  would not move, just stall and I smelled what I thought was clutch.  I has my daughter sit in the car and  hold the clutch in and I can move the car back and fourth so the problem is not the rear brake holding.”

My friend, Richard, owned #0127, and it had no decals when he purchased it, due to a repaint by the
previous owner. But, the car came with a new set of 3M die‐cuts that he installed after he repainted the
car. Richard repainted and re‐striped #0127 in the mid 80s. The car was equipped with an all vinyl
interior, aux. Light group, swingout windows, quick ratio steering box, posi‐traction differential, am/fm
stereo cassette player, and Cibie headlamps (the flat faced ones). Eaglefish123

I'm working on #138 now. It had timing belt trouble when I got the car, Pistons were hit, it last ran on fuel injection my other cars all had Weber's. I got it running on the fuel injection, idles a little high. I had a oil leak in the front , need a sleeve and seal on the crank that should fix it. Another problem is it needs a heater core any ideas on where I can get one or a substitute thanks.
