    Interesting Craigslist car

    I've never seen this car posted for sale before, but maybe someone else has:

    For posterity, here's the engine bay picture. If this car is running, is it running without an air filter?

    Looks like somebody might have beaten Bill Robertson to the home brew intake manifold and carburetor transplant game. The ignition system is entirely different to boot.

    I wonder what's going on with it to cause all that oil to be belched out of the filler tube?

    Excess crankcase pressure caused by blow-by!
