Notes:
I recently purchased this car in an ebay purchase of $575.  The engine was evaluated and it has a bad cylinder and needs to be rebuilt.  I plan on body work at the same time this winter with the hope of an excellent driver or show car next spring.  I do plan on changing the color scheme as I find the all-white boring and ill-fitted for a car that has so much color potential.

August 2009 Update: Restoration complete.  More detailed photo here.
