This was one of the most extensive restorations I have ever done! It is a restored MKIII with black leather interior and forest greeen metalic paint. When I get a chance I will post more pictures of the full restoration. For now here are just a couple to wet your appetite. I rebuilt the original 4 cyl 1500cc motor and upgraded the intake to an original dual webber manifold. It is one hell of a piece of machinery compared to the bucket that came off the trailer with pieces in the boot!

Thanks for stopping by, please check out the other cars in my garage. You can also check out my 1974 Vels Parnelli Jones race car, originally driven by Mario Andretti. Unfortunately there is no way to add it to "my garage"
