My father purchased the car in 2004. After many years of pure enjoyment, he decided to do another restoration to bring the car up to the level of perfection he felt it deserved. The second restoration started around 2013. The car was completely disassembled and he had a good portion of the car re-fabricated. Unfortunately, during the lengthy restoration process, my father developed cancer and passed away in January of 2015. After his death, the Family decided to sell the car as "a work in progress." The work done on the second restoration work was top notch and this would be an opportunity for someone to complete the restorationto their own satisfaction Only a few parts of the car have primer so you can see the quality metalwork that has gone into the car. The car will be sold with all the parts from original restoration (the list above lists only some of the components). You can reuse these parts or decide to take the car in a completely different direction. The choice is yours. While there will still be some work to complete therestoratio, the end result will be a head-turning,one-of-a-kind car.
Happy to answer whatever questions I can.
