Nice BB, with TKO and side pipes, that rear ratio do you have?

No Danish blood (as far as I know

), but I'm in Copenhagen every second week for work.

It has 3.55.

Happy Holidays,

Haven't noticed a huge difference on dry roads, although I am definitely going to BFG TA, when Copper's will get worn. That should be soon

...and here goes the Christmas present

I won the auction of this nice '75 convertible with 4-speed, AC, no PS/PB, Neutral color interior. Looks like pretty rare combo. Any guesses, how many cars were made like this? Should be a nice project. 2 months of waiting ahead, before it gets delivered.

Merry Christmas to all!
