This example, retains its matching numbers engine and is thought to have been originally finished in brown. It is believed the previous owner acquired the car out of Pennsylvania in 1993 and soon started the restoration, which included repainting the car in red lacquer, reupholstering the interior in tan leather, refinishing the brightwork, and replacing the rear window with plexiglass. Engine modifications said to have been fitted in-period include finned aluminum valve covers, an exhaust header, and a magneto installed in place of the distributor—it should be noted that the tachometer is said to be inoperative due to replacement of the distributor and coil with the magneto. A new factory-style wiring harness was installed and the oil pressure guide was bypassed in favor of a Stewart Warner unit fitted under the dash.
