Shipping would be easy, just fill a tank and ship it. But the real issue would be getting the right composition of air from Coventry ? it would have to be investigated to determine the exact amount of pollutants and other airborne contaminants that were present in the 60?s? before air capture for the tank. Has to be authentic ?air?.? The air could have more CO2 today and it was cooler then,? after all it is about 50? or so years younger in the? era the cars were assembled. <br><br> <br><br>All in good fun here? ? I wished I had kept my car pristine,? but, feckless youth had me do a bit of coach work customizing.? Basis running gear is as shipped from merry olde England, however. Wishing I had some Coventry air and Beech wood ? And maybe some of that Lucas smoke to refill? the electricals?. <br><br> <br><br>Have owned my car since 1967 (second hand at that) and the heads and intake have never been off of it.? Have a 5 bolt 289, 30 over bore and ported heads with the small cc chamber and pop up pistons that? I need to rebuild ? has the hipo stuff inside. <br><br> <br><br>Reminiscing now? I once was in a 3 car ?convoy? from Bakersfield headed back to Santa Maria. We left separately but soon got together on Highway? 46. I had a tank of gas when I left, virtually empty in Paso?? Corvette and Mercedes were surprised by the fact that not only did I keep up, but arrived first, lol? about 90 miles in an hour.. Passed the place where 46 junctions to go to Fresno? and where Jimmy Dean bought the farm.? Box Stock everything then? <br><br> <br><br>Drmayf<br><br> <br><br>Aka Larry Mayfield<br><br>TWFS.
