Default Re: Totaly "Restored" 1st Sport Coupe sold in San Francisco

Are those correct early cowl lights? They look good but I've never seen them before and given the rest of the car it's hard to tell what is authentic.


It's odd they went though the effort of cutting the gas tank up to install the radio and made up the tank in the trunk but still kept the old 7 tooth steering box. It all seems well done, just confuses the hell out of me.

I agree. Also it still appears to have mechanical brakes. That's the problem with resto/rods. You have this one person's interpretation of what needed to be improved and what didn't, and unless it lines up with a buyers view it will be sitting for a while, especially at that price.
