Absolutely incredible car Jeff. There is nothing wrong with reviving a post on this car. They never get stale.
Nice to see that it was left unrestored. They are only that way once.

Wow!
Great story and pictures!

it should be against the law to "restore" cars like that

if you had 2 of the exact same cars, one "restored" and one like this one, the original will have people 3 deep stretching their necks to get a look at it while the "pretty" one will be all alone ...

Ain't that the truth!.

The car is stunning and it's great to hear it's not going to be restored..

Is Dave's site and great information he compiled gone forever?.
