Hi All

I have an excellent Borg-Warner 65 Automatic transmission and the stock
Zeniths for sale from my 1 owner 3.0 CS (now two owner) which I am
converting to a 3.5 with stick shift. Both the Auto and the carbs work
flawlessly, they're just too slow for my taste. The transmission had been
professionally rebuilt only a few years ago and clearly looks and feels that
way and hasn't given me any trouble before I pulled it out yesterday (I can
guaranty that). It shifts smoothly up or down, doesn't slip, etc.

The stock Zenith carburetors run the way they should and pull strong. The
car always started immediately, ran at elevated idle for a short while until
warm and then settled to the correct idle speed. I'm not a man for
carburetors, but I was very impressed with these especially with all the
stories I've heard about adjusting troubles. I may also sell the original
engine, but am a little weary of giving it up because of matching numbers,
though I will never switch back. The re-cored radiator with transmission
fluid cooler will also be for sale. Please email me if you have questions or
would like to make me an offer. The parts are in Los Angeles 90036. I will
ship the transmission if you can figure out a way (Amtrak works if you're
near a station). I also have a new CSi gas tank glass, blue seats, door
panels and original carpet as well as a complete, good, stock, used muffler
system ($200firm).

Regards and a Happy New Year and many good Coupe experiences to all,
Tom Colitt
