Just because someone "restored" it - doesn't make it right. But, done right these cars are a joy to own and drive.

Many of the so called "restored" cars --- if they don't have NCRS judging sheets --- can end up with the wrong fan - wrong radiator - wrong fan shroud. The A/C cars did NOT use the same fan that the Non A/C cars used! But if people don't know what they're doing ---- then they "restore" them with the wrong stuff. The BBC A/C cars used a SEVEN blade fan..... Can't tell you how many cars I've seen that are wrong.

Greg,

I appreciate your great advice.

Likin' this.... But, done right these cars are a joy to own and drive.


And like you said, look for a driver.
