My '64 has had the same German Talbot mirrors since 1967. They were originally designed for the Mercedes Benz 300SL, and were used on Formula I and Indy cars for many years. $6.95 each back in the day, about $250 each now.

Default X-Sonic

Does anyone know if the X-Sonic Is just setting, or is someone restoring it? The last thing I read about it was that it had been found in a lot Ron owned, and someone had bought it, but I have not heard anything since, and that was a few years ago. I did hear that Ron had passed away.
