Friday, December 27, 2024 - Oil Change for SKMK's Honda Fit
 |
| Since the MGB is dead, had to do it on the lawn |
Saturday, December 14, 2024 - from the ZADM - March 1963 Road & Track
 |
| $2,595 |
 |
| $3,995 Seems pretty expensive, compared to the other cars. |
 |
| Before they moved to Pasadena. |
 |
| This is the wagon with the sliding rear roof that kinda turns it into a pickup. |
 |
| Turbocharger in 1963. |
 |
| Vented disc brakes. |
 |
| 140 hp with 1.6 liters in 1963 (smaller horses than today). |
 |
| 0 - 60 in 25.4 seconds |
 |
| 0 - 60 in 8.5 seconds |
 |
| 3.0L vs 2.2L. Not much difference in performance. |
 |
| Porsche has an 8 page color ad in the middle of the magazine. Must have been a pretty expensive ad. |
 |
| The distributor's address is about a mile from the house. I think Phil Hill worked at Competition Motor Sales in Hollywood when started out racing. |
 |
| Hoffman still had the distribution rights in the NY and surrounding areas. |
 |
| Brumos had the distribution rights in the south east. |
 |
| Cost just a little more than the Lotus Elite. |
 |
| Used to live in Dearborn, a long time ago. |
 |
| It says "contest does not apply to west coast area" Wonder why? If you live in so cal, you can't participate in the contest? |
 |
| Cross-flow, hemi head. |
