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.
