Many of you may have seen this picture before...
It's TS39083L and it was parked outside under some pines for many years. I bought it a few months ago and now have it in my shop and it's getting dimantled for parts.
The amazing thing about this car is it's originality...it probably has never been touched (or changed). Every factory nut, bolt, clip, spring, washer and such appears to be original. original radiator and heater hoses (and clamps). Only two non-stock hose clamps on the water bypass hose and a non-original ammeter show any evidence of it ever being repaired.
Those little aluminum clips that hold the temp capillary tube and fuel line together were intact and they were insulated from the line with narrow black cloth tape...an original touch, I'm sure.
The odometer show only 43,000 miles...it may have been spun back at some time. Whatever it's story it has been a real adventure dismantling (and saving) all of these interesting parts.
