Thanks for posting those two last videos Tenney. I think Ed is pretty thrilled to own it. In this last video, you can see the tach on the column. That's the exact tach Dan raced it with in '61 and mounted in the same location he had it. The car wasn't ordered with a Chevy tach.

Thanks for sharing, what a cool story. Glad to see it returned to LH drive and someone enjoying it.

Cool little piece of history, Verne - too cool it's still handy!

That is really well done - thanks for sharing. Hat's off to Verne as well for his involvement in preserving a piece of history.

That video is definitely the best one yet. Ed told me he had to wear ear plugs on that ride. Just a little LOUD!


Verne


I got lucky. The donor car for the LHD conversion had a blue interior so the dash is still original paint. Other than the donor dash and a new carpet, the rest of the interior is all original as well. I'm glad he decided to let me do the conversion here before I shipped it over to him. The result is just like the Van Nuys plant did it in the first place.
