Re: IML: 68 or 69 Imp on Ebay

[dardal@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Quoting pnkmoore@xxxxxxxxxxxxx:
You are right, its a 69.  He has spent a lot of money hot-rodding the engine.  I
like the idea of the larger valves, but he has a huge cam there, and a huge
stall converter.  He has also installed a real steep gear on the back.  The
converter and the 4.1 rear does not appeal to the majority of people in this
list, including me (spinning 4800-5000 rpm at 100 mph is absurd).  It also does
not appeal to the hot-rod croud, since the car is too large and heavy for an
effective musle car.  What this fellow does not get is his conversions reduce
the value of the car, which is already low due to the fuselage era cars being
under-valued.
