After driving this 66 Splittie for about thirty miles these are my
comments:
Definitely the Tin Can of transportation.
That steering wheel is what got the Ape Hanger handle bar craze started.
With engine rpms that high I can see why they had 40,000 mile engines
(worse than Yugo) even worse than that Ford Festiva of the early 90s.
Now I know why Bay and Splittie folks are always looking for sound
proofing.
Did these things come with four wheel brakes?
It takes a brave soul to get on the road in an Old Splittie.
I thought crank up windows would be a nice option.
How much are these things worth?
Engine runs great ........... must have a Porsche engine.
