It looks like an R2 with an R3 airbox. There's only the standard two air breathers...an R3/R4 has five. Plus for the purists...no battery hold down! Oh...the horror!
There are other things wrong to even bother listing.Poet...Mystic...Soldier of Fortune. As always...self-absorbed, adversarial, cocky and in general a malcontent.

Looka like it takes the 3EE battery, but has a 64 front end on it. Missing the 2nd set of breathers on the valve covers. Also has some sort of proportioning valve near where the M/C should be.

I looked at the car. The engine number starts with the letter P. so its not an Avanti or JT block. It has all the external parts though and an R@ carb under the enclosure. It has drum brakes in the front with a porportioning valve in the lines. The left side rocker has some rust and the right side has a home made replacement. The frame in the back has a new bottom plate welded over the original plates and the rear crossmember was eliminated. The interior was redone and is very nice. The paint has some cracks but it is red. I didn't ask to hear it run as it would have taken some work to get started, the master cylinder was missing and I wasn't interested at the asking price.
