Not sure if the original engine will be reunited to the car but it would sure be cool.
I don't have the original window sticker, just a scanned copy taken years ago that was provided to me by the current owners of the engine. The original copy is still with Bruce the original owner. I'm working on reuniting it with the car along with other items.
The current owners of the engine had it rebuilt back to stock with the best of intentions to keep it original. It is in a running driving vehicle and well taken care of. On the engine dyno it made 408hp but he says it could have made more if it weren't for the bad exhaust headers/manifolds? bolted up for the run.
There are a lot of variables up in the air right now and I'm simply not in control. I didn't anticipate the work it would take to get this far and I haven't done much to the car. With that said, I am grateful for what has come to light about this car, and I'm also thankful that those Ohioan Hotrodders don't throw anything away.
It's been very nice having support and guidance behind the scenes from members here including Bentley bbbentley, Darrell cook_dw, Jason supernovass, Anthony anthonys and others including previous owners and their families.
I also really enjoy sharing the story as it unfolds of this special car with anyone interested.
