The car is mechanically very original. The Chassis No. (LT1587) is stamped in all the correct places - including the steering box and front axle. It has its original engine (HP 396 SS).
The original fenders were separated from the car may years ago and the fenders you see in the pictures were built and installed during the restoration.
It's a good driver, though it runs a bit hot.
