Owner Comments
Purchased VERY used in 1975 from Sports Car Exchange in Dearborn MI with approx 52,000 miles on it. Initially did some urgent repairs and drove it summers until 1978. Body off restoration started and stopped several times in the last 40+ years, but started again in earnest when COVID hit. Carbs awaiting rebuild in NY. Hope to have it on the road summer of 2021. Car delivered to original owner in Europe and registered as OCL 317H. Door plate noted build date as *1/70.
