To give the guy credit, he has used the correct GM air cleaner.

It's in very good condition for a gopping motorised jukebox.
Raymond Loewy at his best. Fantastic cars.
It isn't to my taste, but it is an excellent example.
Well, there is no account for taste.

That's a bargain compared to what VW T2 pickups go for.

Never mind the Cadulacs (lovely as they are), check out the 15/60. These were the very first Farinas, predating the Oxbridge.

I can only guess why anyone is paying a grand + for this one though. :-(

That 6/110 is quite fairly priced considering the mark-up that dealer generally has on stuff.....Seller of the 15/60 is indeed an ex-banger boy but always seems to have an old Farina for sale or smoking around. Decent fella, too.

Only issue I have with the big Farinas are the wheels look too small.
