One just left Tucson last month. I knew nothing about it. A friend said it was day 2 with slotted wheels. Said it might be Butternut yellow. Thought maybe that was the one you're talking about...Joe

Never mind. Many pics here. Sold for $93,500

Carbs are not correct and that may be part of the problem. Cross ram setups are a PITA in my opinion and really not street friendly.

Let me clarify my "mostly original" statement. It has been restored but not Day 2.

The owner was made aware that getting it even close to streetable in its current state is a long shot if not impossible.

At least the exterior was restored, some not so correctly. Take a look at the top center of the fan shroud.

Interior - I can't really tell from the pics. Some of it could be original.

I am not saying that it absolutely can't be run with the the cross ram setup, but it would be much easier to tune a single four barrel setup.

I certainly wouldn't kick this one out of the garage for loading up. rough idle or coughing up oil phlegm. Or looking somewhat day 2 -

In terms of eye candy, it's tough to deny the appeal of a cross ram against the single four. The fact that it was not a factory or dealer installed option helps justify an owner-installed-for-preference car; usually reflects in a better selling price.

Configure 600 cfm 4776 Holley DP's with 4295 spec metering, power valves, jetting and progressive throttle body linkage, and they'll run on the street. Extra work, but undeniably cool. Look correct, too. Headers help -

I wonder if the cowl plenum setup on this car is repop or an original - very rare piece if it is. Nice vehicle -

Regards,
Steve

The carbs now are a pair of 650cfm's. Are the 4776's a tried and true application?
I don't know about the plenum set-up. Don't know anything about them.
