Is that a Tatra 613 in the background?

Thought about swapping the axle but because the 264 was originally on carbs not injection I didn't think it would make much difference. It didn't.
Just an idea but the shell looks pretty good and it may make a good project.

Chances are ,it has a 3.54 diff.
Ideal for a good 2.3 or pretty much anything else worthwhile.

Anyway, stop dreaming and make the man an offer!

Lexus 400 V8?

Would make it the 260 as it was meant to be before the oil crisis panicked them into lopping off two cylinders.

I'm more a Chevrolet fan though (not those vile little things old ladies buy, real ones!)

Hello all,

A couple of people have sent me PMs this week, but I can't reply as I have fewer than 30 forum posts.

The 264 is still languishing with its engine and gearbox in place. I just can't bring myself to strip it. If anyone's interesting in rescuing it, it could be yours…

Best wishes,

Sam

Many thanks,

Al
