He bought it from a friend who had it for several years prior to that. The car currently has 56,800 miles which are actual. Paper work is extensive The drivetrain and suspension work very well together featuring many upgrades. The 3.5 Liter 215 CI V8 was rated at 139 HP 180lbs of torque stock when new. We would guess this car is around 200 HP now. The dual stock 1 Barrel Zenith-Stromberg carbs have been replaced with a Edelbrock Intake and a Holley 390 4 barrel carb. The engine has an Erson Cam with Cam Grind sheet included. It has Stainless Headers, Stainless exhaust, and new electric fuel pump. The rear differential is a Quaife Limited Slip from Rimmer Brothers, a noted Triumph Performance parts supplier. The transmission is the stock 5 speed .
