Looks good for the BIN price.

I wonder how it would run since the carbs mounted upside-down.

That's priceless! Since a picture is worth 1000 words, here ya go!

Must have come from Australia!

Good start for the day...LOL

Must have come from Australia!

Don't think so!!

If this was from Oz, it would at least have a 45 DCOE Weber!!

Nice Hard Top, though.

That is just too much. And yep I did laugh out loud.

I had to tell the guy about the upside down carbs, that just kills me.

Sure makes jet adjustment easy!
Just cant figure out how to keep fuel in the bowls!

I think that is the first time I have ever seen a pair of up-draft carbs!! :laugh: Hmm...throttle=cable action would be interesting with that set up!
Wonder why the bonnet hinges aren't bolted up, and there is certainly some interesting routing of the hydraulic lines!! Someone REALLY knew what they were doing on this one, eh?

 

[Sarastro]

Gee, with the carb pistons like that, won't it run a little too lean?

 

[glemon]

Just put in stonger springs will work fine, oh wait what about the jets and float bowl!, maybe this is why they don't use SUs on stunt planes.

Found the actual auction, it does have the original radio box, which is getting hard to find, and in fact many spridget guys I have talked to claim it to be a mythical thing, but there it is.

I saw all that too, but looks like a fairly solid starting place, at least in comparison to a lot I have seen for a lot more $.

Thats pretty interesting! "Funny" but Interesting!

I would wonder how "Well" it would run????????

Great Shot,

Thanx, Russ

He put a disclaimer on the auction saying he knows the carbs are upside down, so stop with the emails or something similar. Apparently, they were not on the car so he had his hired hand put them on to sell it... I hope the hired hand isn't a mechanic... :confuse:
