56K for a car you're not "allowed" to drive?
I cannot call that a bargain! But it'll give you bragging rights for sure.

The buyer would be allowed to drive it.
It's just that it hasn't been registered, or 'in the system', for so long it would need to be recertified before it can be allowed on the road again.
And that's time consuming and frustrating.

I saw that on the net earlier, I just don't remember where. I doubt it would have brought more if had been through Barrett-Jackson or Mecum here in the states. It's a nice original car, but nothing special and it has 4 doors. This new generation has been spoon fed this 4 dr BS and they can keep it. None of the guys I ran around with wouldn't have looked at a 4 dr once let alone twice.Ken Thomas

Welcome to CHR. I think that you need to hook up your vacuum advance. At part throttle when cruising you have less air and fuel in each cylinder, and the air-fuel mixture is not as densely packed...
