roflmao. My first reaction to discovering a single carb 1500 was some
dumbass was playing around. I had never seen a single in my life and had
owned a
lot of roadsters. Then I looked a little closer and saw the dash plate
indicating 77 HP and I knew the 1500 duals had 85 HP, so I researched further
and
discovered that the first production cars had singles. Car runs great and
has a lot of torque and gives the 1600's a run for the money. Guess we all
have some interesting "sad stories", great to hear that one. Hope the car is
still restorable and not someone's tuna can.
