Hi People,
I've got a 69 GT6+ I'm working on and starting to drive. Man I sure like
that 6 cylinder motor and I think it needs that extra gear with the OD.
I'm wondering if anyone might have an angle drive I could buy? The one that
goes on the overdrive so I can hook up my speedome

The car is listed on Autotrader with picture.
Asking $5600.00. Please contact me off list if interested.
Also if you are in need of any Penrite Oil products please let me know.
