holy crap....

I am running my original NADA 6, and my truck still runs on its original rust-free chassis. What do I win?

A chance to meet Sharon Stone?

Earlier in this thread i mentioned the 'join' in the wing. I am not talking about the join at the front top corner which all series and defenders have but the 'join' on the left front wing near the back of the wing, on top that looks like there are some rivets by it. Possibly a door/hatch that is there to give access to the clutch or brake master cylinders.

Just wondering if that is a normal for NADA 6's or even that year of Rovers.

Our 1967 NADA




Number 380 now has a 3 liter 4 cylinder GM engine. Other than that and the series 3 power brakes it's stock.

O.B,

Ha, I knew someone would pick up on that. Dealer installed options are not a new idea. This truck was delivered new by the dealer with:

"Safari" fender scripts
chrome Lucas fender mirrors
Lucas driving/fog lights
bumper mounted manual winch
dash glovebox and speaker
AM radio
winshield washers

In this sense, I guess that this thing was never "stock". Do you recognize what make or model car the scripts are from?

Pontiac station wagons carried the Safari nameplates.

Ditto....

...what siiirhd88 said. They began using the script in 1959.

Nice looking truck dash.
I had #756 with a 4 cylinder LR transplant.
A running Weslake 2.6 is as rare as rustfree,original chassis I guess.

I'm a bit lost here on the terminology: What exactly is a Weslake engine?

[giorgio]

Harry Weslake was a noted designer of heads for British race cars. He designed the head for the Rover 2.6L engine, used in a Rover car, which was later tapped for use in the NADA (North American Dollar Area) Series IIA 109's.
