Car with performance parts

I am thinking about selling me 81zx. It is rough, has t-tops, and up until about two years ago was a daily driver. The engine has high miles, but is new from the Head up. It has a milled E88 head, 280-450 lift cam, triple weber 40DCOE carbs, Header, 2.5" exhaust. Like I said the car is rough, but with a rebuild the engine will scream. On a hot day with all the windows open and T-tops off,,(with very worn piston rings) i had the car up to about 145mph. If interested let me know. BTW, I am in Texas.

What speedometer did you have to read 145mph?

The stock unit only goes to 85, and the 1979 guage goes to 130.

I asked the guy in the BMW that I was running with what speed we got up to, That plus I estimated the speed with the rpm. He said 150, But I figured about 145.
