    What’s the purpose of the persons hand on the engine during startup?

    • bill240 says:

      Purpose of the bare hand on the exhaust header is to show the engine is indeed starting cold

  • Viper says:

    Looks like a nice car. Can you do a driver video from inside the car? Did you put the roll bar in? Did you track this car or was it tracked by the previous owner?? That’s a lot of miles, has the engine been rebuilt? Trans or clutch?

    • ACC Auctions says:

      from the seller:

      New clutch 20k ago. When I get home from camping I can send a video from inside the car.
