AS THE STORY WENT THE ENGINE WAS BEING OVERHAULED HALF WAY AND THE BUSINESS CLOSED IT'S DOORS. AND SO THE ENGINE WAS TRANSFERRED TO THE STABLE AND ALAN KLINGEN FINISHED THE OVERHUAL AND COMPLETE REBUILD OF THE ENGINE AT THAT TIME.

THE PAINT CODE IS: R 704.

PEOPLE ASKED ABOUT THE CONVERTIBLE TOP HEADLINER. IT COULD USE A NEW ONE. THE INTERIOR APPEARS TO BE ALL ORIGINAL FROM SINCE 1959 OF OVER HALF A CENTURY.
