Here's a real sleeper. This FC was owned by Tony Burrell. Car featured a 215" Oldsmobile V8. This is a lightweight Aluminium engine that actually weighs less than a grey. Car was a quick performer at 15.3sec 1/4 mile times. Very impressive for the early 70's. Car was featured as a road test in the Dec '71 Custom Rodder.
Regards
Alex

Oh, BTW, check out those crossplys. SCAREY STUFF!

Nice find Alex, hey Ace, what do you mean "improve the look of it"? FE's don't need improving!

I think the master cylinder is XA, possibly the booster is as well.

"GTF" number plates are FE as well.
