1979 Checker Marathon Taxi (Clone) This 1979 Checker (brown) started out life as a (Winkoff limo) in Florida. It spent time in Chicago were it was painted Yellow and the Door emblems were added to the wrong doors. I was going to correct that mistake during the restoration but did not have the heart to ruin the wonderful Crackle and Patina. Somethings are best left alone. The NYC Medallion (4Y44) was added during my restoration. Under the hood is the best part. A Chevy 400 cid (365 HP) Holly 4 Barrel.(strong motor no smoke or noises) The Transmission GM TH600 , This is the transmission used in the HUMVEE.(shifts SMOOTH) The last time this transmission was used in a passenger car it was put in Ronald Regan's Caddy Limo. It has been serviced by my transmission guy who runs a TH600 in his wheel standing 1992 Camaro Drag Racer.
