The car is thought to be have been purchased originally in Los Angeles, California but soon after found itself with its long term owner in Utah.

​

 

A friend bought it as a BUY IT NOW on eBay the moment he realized how original and special it was.

​

Other than polishing and waxing the body and removing the front seats' terry towel covers, I did nothing to the interior or exterior of the car. I believe most of the paint is original.

​

I looked  in the front ashtray and you can see above the matchbox I found full of matches!

​

I removed the engine and transmission and disassembled the engine and replaced only 1 bearing, and had the pistons and cylinders professionally cleaned, new piston rings sourced from Brad Nauss, and a new clutch system. The engine's head was found to he cracked in many places so a good used one was located and rebuilt in Seattle with new valves and Porsche valve stem seals. 

​

Suspension spheres, hydraulic pump, front disc brakes, steering rack and, height correctors were rebuilt. New Michelin 165 x 400 X Stop tires were sourced. The car's original tires are stored in the garage.
