Windscreen is glass, the rear window is plexi glass. The 1565cc engine has been dynoed at 156.7 HP (at 6700 RPM) and 123.9 Ft/lbs torque at 6300 RPM. It speaks for itself that the car is ready to race; I plan to race it myself until the car is sold. In anticipation of the question "What needs to be done to bring this car back to street use?", here is the list. Wiring harness. All switches are in the car and the so important "Commodo" with the switches and stalks behind the steering wheel is in excellent condition.It needs a horn. Head lights and driving lights, door window and mechanisms needs to be purchased and installed. Needs a muffler and an alternator. Would change the jetting and install a better air filter. Heater core needs to be hooked up, and the controls are missing.If you want to install the original style upholstery, complete kits are available in France. It has a operating hydrolic handbrake! The wiper motor is installed and works, but the wipers arms are missing. The car comes with an Illinois title! On parle Francais, n’hesiter pas nous contacter.
