So is the choke knob.

Which choke knob should this car have? Is this the correct one for that date:

And while we're talking about knobs... Is the flasher switch knob correct for that car on BAT?

It's a very nice looking restoration.

However, I hope the new owner will go the extra mile and source the correct original style bumpers with bumperettes to put the cherry on top of this example.

Yes to choke knob; I cant comment on hazard flasher switch as the "Australian specification" cars were not supplied with one.

Thanks for the confirmation.

That open hole to suck dirty air into the carbs is worrisome. They said there has been 1500 miles put on the engine since it was rebuilt? I sure hope they didn't suck 1500 miles worth of road dust and dirt into that newly rebuilt motor!!

Sorry, not a 260

This one?

The bids seem surprisingly high for so early in the auction. Somebody went directly to a very large number. And the engine is not original, it's been bumped up to L28 size apparently. Although I had always though that the L24 blocks would not take L28 bore size. And it has an E88 head.

Looks like one of those interesting auctions.

Yeah, kind of hard to believe that NOBODY noticed that little omission.

And the lack of clamps on ANY of the adjacent hoses.

Maybe he did what I did. Covered it from the inside? I used a piece of Gorilla tape from the inside instead of a chair leg cap on the outside. I was in a hurry, probably need to check that soon? 🤫

Funny, I wanted to be sure I knew what that port/nipple is called and/or what it's for so I looked through the FSM's and it doesn't show up until 1973. Is that the right air filter housing for a 1970?

1972

1973

And, is anyone going to get in to the Comments over there and ask about the open port? Who wants to be the bad guy? 😈
