Doug I am sure I will be one of many that will tell you that the stopping of
your car every few miles is not the fault of the power plant but of some sort
of mystery malfunction of some yet undiscovered defective accessory. Chances
are you will still have the problem after the "Toyota" engine is installed as
you have not sorted out the fuel, or electrical system.

I Would be interested if anyone Knows anything of the cars early history

Also if anything is known of the car for the period from January 1961, after

"my car started out as a basket case for the second time. I had taken it in

Dave wanted to have a TC since he had borowed my original TC for his
honeymoon back in 1957. This
project proved to be to much and he went out and bought a running TC 6828. I
wound up back with the basket case which I restored 10 years later and am
still driving it. We took it to England twice for the GRAB* tours. Dave's TC
is part of his car collection and has been used in movies and magazine
layouts.
