Bob,
You can’t say what you did without starting a debate. But, realize that I was talking about English motors (MG’s although I did have a Lotus powered Jensen Healey and a TR6 also). The only American cars that ever really appealed to me were the Model A/B and Chevy’s of the era. I have never driven nor seen a TD with a V8 so my view is som… -

Roy,
Sorry I didagree on the vw.Chevy’s from pre 85 are by far cheaper to maintain.VW long blocks new sell for 1700-3000 and somtimes more.and its still not a complete engine.and also still only 60-and up horses.On the chevy side,GM crate 350,275 horse turn key complete,1700-2500 and a 3 year 45000 mile factory warrenty if is goes back into a gm… -

Ed, the club should “elect” you as our Replica recruiter. You joined their club just so you could respond to his post? I had to read all the way through to find that out. I was tempted to copy your comments and post here, but it is your post, so you do it if you want. BTW, I was one of them, I have always had a fun car (as distinguished from…[Read more]

Just yesterday I had exactly the same problem, – only different. I had too much gas in my TD. Went for a ride and it was all better. Try it.

I wish I knew for sure if it would fit. Thats one of the things I would like to change on mine. I’m not sure I’m up to alot of fiberglass changes to make it fit.

To me the buyer paid about 50 K too much. At the British days show last year, the average prices on ones for sale were 18 to 24 K. The show winner even was for sale, an A+ car down to the last lug nut, asking price was 24 K. He took it back home too.

Amazing, Dan. I’ve seen some very nice ones–including one that was raced by Carroll Shelby–go for less than $19k in the past three years, and a lot priced over $20k on the ‘bay not make their opening bid. Never saw one do more than maybe $21k–and I think that was a low-mile, well-documented early Mark II that was perfect. This car looks nice,…[Read more]

The TC buyer made the better deal.Still thinking that $71,500 was a typo. Maybe should’ve been $17,500.

edward ericson replied to the topic Tachometer Failure in the forum General Discussion 13 years ago
It’s a 3 3/8-inch “White Hot” series Classic Instrument tach. Seems to be a standard size for aftermarket instruments and very much the common size for TD Replicas. Fits in a 3 3/8-inch hole in the dash and the edge of the bezel looks to be a little more than 3.5 inches.Definitely look at your hookup wire to the coil first, and check your…[Read more]

I was very surprisd that the TD went for so much ..I think it helped in that barrett jackson advertised it for several days before the auction. A TC went the day before for only @$18,000….. jebarry2012-04-07 04:40:32

The tach in my red one with the Chevy engine (Mr August, 2012) is not working. If I have to replace it, what size is this one, Ed?

That black one on eBay got my attention. There’s a Honda S2000 in the background of the main photo. Two of my favorite cars.
