Danno74Z Posted October 3, 2001 Share Posted October 3, 2001 Very nice indeed. This car brings back many fond memories. Back in the mid seventies and early eighties I had a 1967 SPL 311 with the 1600 motor and 4 speed. I found the car in a used car lot (way in the back with a tap over it) one day while poking around. I made the dealer an offer of $100.00 and he said it’s yours. The tranny was shot and the motor burned oil like an old tug boat and when I drove it home my dad just shook his head and said put it in the garage before your mother has a chance to see it. Well to make a long story short. I had the tranny rebuilt while I did the motor and completely went through the car and had it painted fire engine red. That car ran for five long years while making numerous trips from NJ to CO during my college years. That little motor put out around 100hp but the car was very light. What a hoot to drive! I can’t imagine the performance of a V8 in that car. Having had a little 1600 roadster, I can now appreciate what a LT1 V8 will be like in my 260Z.
