In Dec 1999 we restored the car from the bottom to the top.

..... meanwhile 9 years ago .....

Complete new paint in color solargold metallic "bright" was added.
383 engine and 727 transmission and whole electrical system has been overhauled.
Items like generator, water pump, battery, starter, brake system, exhaust ... all new.
The car was shown in the Magazine "Chrom&Flammen" in Sept2006.
