This is just a screenshot of one of the videos above that didn't embed for some reason

I included it not because of the graphics, but perhaps despite them.

I've also included a pic of my measly black 3.0
I know, my black car is just a lonely 3.0, but the factory RSR had a built to the nuts 2.8
I started with a stronger case for longer fuse (but its a SPECIAL case)
An un numbered factory carrera replacement case, twin plugged just like the factory race car. Who knows where my carrera 3.0 case originally came from?

See its not a lowly 3.0. its a race car for the street, faithful to the factory giant killers of 1973, just like yours is faithful the the earlier giant killers.
Described properly, how much would my lowly 3.0 lawnmower powered car sell for?
I'll bet there is that one guy who is just that little bit crazier than me who has to have it.
But Im not selling...yours is for sale however, and it is every bit equally as special to the right buyer once they know what they are looking at
(P.S. Mine only has decals so that the purists know what they are looking at so that they will stay away and not get offended if they were to see the skewed tach sitting with redline at the top) Your needs a few hints of special in some subtle way, and not even necessarily a decal. The missing wheel caps should be a hint of something special, and not as a flaw.
The purists aren't the buyers of your car. Maybe with the missing caps you need the longer race derived wheel studs that let you know the nuts are not backing off and there is still some thread left. Then people will either hate it (not your buyer) or get it (teh guys who dont care about centre caps)







AND as I write this I realize that your car is too nice. Its stuck in no-mans land.
Not factory original for the purists, and not obvious enough for the Group R guys.

This one is a nice balance
