Oh man, I am SOOOO jealous, that's a beauty, I love the old 60's Poncho OHC engines.I still like my 67 Firebird Sprint - 3.8L SOHC 4bbl inline 6, 4-speed with factory A/C that still works. Even if I think I just lost a cylinder on Saturday after 104,000 miles

That might be because you are old?....and now I feel old
Yeah man, that is a beauty, enjoy it, looking at the pics on the auction site brings back a lot of memories working on older Poncho's.Thanks, I have been playing with those engines for over 40 years now. And it is a clue to my user name.
Only sense last November. Its a long drawn out story that started in the summer of 1999. I met the original owner in Denver when I was running my old 69 Sprint Firebird with a 301 Stroker OHC-6 at a Grudge race. The Inliners club (for any Straight 6 or 8 powered cars) had a good natured rivalry with the Flat head Ford club.
The original owner was there without the car as he had just had his left knee replaced and could not use the clutch. He asked if I would be interested in his mostly original California 67 Sprint FB 4-speed, factory A/C, Hood Tach with gauges, delux interior, rally II wheels. Still has the California emissions system intact. I said Hell Yes sight unseen and we made an agreement on the price that if I didn't like it I could pass on it. Well he passed away shortly after that meeting, and his son (who I also met in Denver) Sold it out from me to a Collector on the east coast. And I thought I would never see it again until it popped up on a national auction site in October of last year. I was the high bidder, but it didn't meet the reserve, but we were able to work out a deal on it about a month later. Here is the auction if you want to see more pictures of it.
