I just spoke with the seller, he doesn't know what he has Alfa steering column, square boxed in frame, a Jag rear end? (I don't think so, with outboard brakes) Not even sure it a 427 engine (Bored small block? No paperwork, no proof) said he will get back to me, I said happy to help. Could be just a one off kit, or homemade special.

They do now...actually it'll go 440. Probably cost a mint to ship it but it's still neat. I was actually entertaining the idea of a Cleveland build with this.

Cool read!

Ed,

Reading Tusser is a drudgerie unless you're fluent in Old English!

The quote above is, in the original:
Quote:
A foole and his monie be soone at debate,
which after with sorrow repents him too late.
I probably read right over that, or maybe even didn't quite get there before drowsiness and/or frustration set in

Anyway, thanks for the mental exercise!

For those who'd like a sample, the Gutenberg site has a copy you can read or download for free here: https://www.gutenberg.org/files/51764/51764-0.txt

The Olde English will work our noodles pretty good unless you happen to be a researcher accustomed the the different sentence construction and variations of the words we use today. The modern translation delivers the important message.

Does not look like a Jag rear end, but some Jags did have outboard brakes from the factory... mine does.
