The picture that is missing is the underhood shot. The description says that a Sprint engine has been installed - but, it wasn't clear if that meant a 101 Sprint or a 105 - the year was right on the transition.

The question is whether the engine installation uses the correct veloce air filter, or if you don't care about originality, simply how neatly the conversion was done. If it was a 101 engine, then sure, it should be a bolt-in. If this body was originally a normale, and a 105 1600 with dual Webers was installed, then how did they handle the line to the oil pressure gauge and again the air cleaners?

I know you aren't asking whether the car is concours correct (obviously it isn't) or for everyone's asthetic opinions, but I can resist saying one thing: the white interior would mark it as a chick car here in the States.
