Picking this up this Sunday
It's a 1959 Humber hawk, fitted with a 468 ci big block Chevy V8, modified 700r 4 speed auto box with manual valve body and b and m ratchet shifter, jaguar xj6 based front steering and arms space framed front end with Gaz coilovers, Jag/Daimler back axle, unobtrusive roll cage, 6 seater 2 bench seats with custom dash and all autometer gauges.
Griffin rad with dual fans.
Painted Mercedes lanarite blue with some small modifications to aid in making it look more similar to a 55 Chevy.
Engine is supposed to have a lunati cam, it has uprated inlet and 800 CFM thunder carb, Dyno plot showing crank 280 hp, 360 lbft from 2012, car was originally built 15 years ago and still looks really well with just a few small paint imperfections
Fuel gauge doesn't work and has only 2 front seat belts so got gauge to fix and fit 4 more 3 point seatbelts, then check it over before I try it in anger and see where we're at
Ideally I'd like around 500 hp 500 lb ft motor but it must stay civilised and driveabke with decent power from idle so may have to compromise or fit a bigger cube motor
