I will post pics after first show this wkend. I have had a bcw, and a fiber fab but like the allison much more. Has all the options including the knock off wires. All the tags including the one on back of car by engine, steering wheel, and side of car. With the original 8 track player that works.

Let’s say A LOT of them do! But a properly built and maintained VW engine will not.
Two primary things to look at:Oil pan screen cover. I bet ninety percent of owners over tighten the nuts holding the screen cover on. And it is imperative to replace the copper washers and paper gaskets (one above, one below the screen) each time you remove a… -

Two most obvious:
No fender mounted tail lights on the TC.No “splash panel” for lack of a better term on the TC (body work parallel to the ground, under the spare and between tank and bumper).

Here’s a web site about the original MGT series. Gives color combos etc. Paul posted this way back. It answeres several of those nagging questions.

Paul – I wish we could have kept both of them, but they were both sold – Can only afford one toy at a time. Plus not having enough garage space. Over on the “other rides” section, I just posted pictures of both of these and the current mustang that has assigned space in the garage next to my TD.
