Magnum 27 Sedan "Barn Find" in Canada
So I just bought MAG272710673. I am assuming that it is hull 271 and was built in June 1973 ?
It has Volvo outdrives but not sure what they are, I think 270's ? PZ NR 2765856 B
The engines are pretty cool. They are Crusader Model 300 Scorpions with some old school stainless manifolds, Riva I think?
Trying to post photos for you guys but cant remember how, Its been awhile since I was on here. I really love this old school vessel and look forward to hitting the lake as soon as I get the preventative maintenance done. It's been layed up in a Marina shelter for 2 years. Impellers going in this afternoon and muffs going on after fresh oil...

How do I post pics on here? Could use a little expert help identifying which parts are original to this boat. Never seen exhaust manifolds like this before and am wondering if the upholstery is original.

The Crusader Mondelo Scorpion manifolds were used on most Crusader engines back in the early 70's. Many early race small block Magnums had them with a modified dry exhaust riser like these used on the Wolverine race Mag.

Mondello as in Oldsmobile fame? I also read somewhere on here that Riva built them ?
