I like the stance of that one. Bet it rides hugely better on the air.
Not for sale? Does that mean it's free?It's a 1968, but it's the best I can donot that it's for sale.

I sure loved those cars back in the day. That thing is gorgeous!Got to drive some more big old American steel home for lunch today and introduce my kids to suicide doors. We didn't do much to this and nothing visible in the pictures. Just something you don't see often.
The overhead profile is gorgeous. That would be a fun build fer sure.
Now that I have a few years behind me, I may see your wife's point. I used to drag home everything. I had more cars and motorcycles than I could possibly get to, plus four kids, plus a house, plus shift work & overtime, plus.....My wife isn't so much enthusiastic about this idea.
Had to do a Google search for more info. Interesting that this overhead cam engine, in at lest some vehicles, replaced a flathead six. Kind of a big jump in technology! But in some cases that is what happens in smaller companies compared to the way things go in much larger companies.

So, now I take my car to the shop unless I really feel like doing the job myself. My garage is cleaned up. The cars and some bikes are gone. I still have two derelict XS1100's and four XS650's plus an XS1100 that is a nice runner. That's more than enough to keep me occupied and less for my kids to deal with when I go for the dirt nap. I feel much better without the clutter.
What I really want to do is a cigar bodied F1 car from the late 60s, right before aero became a thing and the cars got ugly. I've nowhere near the financial capability to pull that off though and that's what made the roadster appealing. It seemed like it was doable from a money standpoint.
