General: - 1968 US Combi Being Outfitted with Vintage Performance Parts

Vintagewrench · Jul 9th, 2016, 17:21

Hello everyone, I am new here and am from the US and live in the State of Vermont in New England. Have had a number of 122s and 220's and a 1967 P1800s in the past.

I waited for 35-years to purchase this three-owner 220 from a friend. It spent its life in inland Florida and Georgia (no rust) before coming up here to New England where it has only been used in the fair weather months and carefully stored over the winter.

It will be used a shop car for my early auto restoration shop that is celebrating 40-years in business this summer and also a very active old car online magazine: TheOldMotor.com during the spring, summer, and fall.

I have alway liked high-performance automobiles and since this is such a nice original car, it is not being altered in any way other by using bolt on performance parts that can easily removed to turn it back to a stock condition easily and quickly.

Two of the early additions can be seen below: a Judson Supercharger that I am rebuilding for it and a Abarth exhaust system that is what we call in the US N.O.S. (new parts that were never installed on a car and have been in storage since being manufactured.)

I will update this thread as often as I can and hope you enjoy it.

The Judson Blower above, and below the Abarth exhaust system.
