That's really interesting car! And if it really is only 1000miles driven it's even more interesting!!! Too bad that it has gained some surface rust during the long garage time.

That must have been a rough 1,000 miles:



Thsoe look to be newer Accel plug wires with some grease on them. Guessing the 1000 mile story is but is still an interesting car.

The magazine story is old (97 or 98)... I'm sure Joel got it running after getting it home. Plus the new owner has had it for a couple of years and just now getting started on the restoration. All those pictures are by the guy doing the restoration before starting on it.
