Someone posted upstream they saw a cowl hood switch on the cowl. Why would this car have this??
Apparently it is very close to where the car sits now. I’ve reached out to white top but haven’t heard back. He knows the history of the car very well so I have faith in what he says but won’t know until we can see the number on it.

Good luck, great to hear this car is finally getting some love. I'm sure some of the guys on here would try to help you out on parts.

I really hope that turns out for you!

Wow, absolutely a blessing to your grandfather that you are taking over his old COPO to bring it back to life after all these years :biggthumpup:

Bet he is just as thrilled as you must be 😎

Got the car moved, it’s really rough but I have a lot to start with. Tried to get ahold of white top to see about tracking the motor down but haven’t heard anything.

Congratulations and best of luck PapsMaro. Can't wait to follow this one and am hoping whitetop helps you get the original engine back.
