Re: [T3] NOS Abarth muffler

[Scott Taylor <scottbtaylor@earthlink.net>]

<x-flowed>The holy grail of Type 3 vintage performance parts. I'm not sure 
everyone will appreciate just how rare this particular muffler is. That 
heat riser means it's for an engine with a single 32-PHN sidedraft 
carb. While it would fit a later sidedraft engine it was really meant 
for the earliest Type 3s, 1961-63. I could see finding a used one if 
you were really lucky, but an NOS one? You're much more likely to be 
struck by lightning.
