My Car Story

Hi Guys,
I have loved the 3000's ever since I first saw one in a Used Car Lot in 1964.
I knew nothing about working on these cars but it was the coolest machine I ever saw and it stirred my soul.
See the attached story that was published in one of the club magazines to get a better idea of how my interest in these cars all came about.
The other photos show the current state it's in today and it's running good on a 23 year old engine rebuild.
Some of you might notice the windshield has been chopped 4", the door handles have been shaved, the seats have been reclined 15°,
the Rear View Mirror has been relocated and I added a couple extra gauges.
The black area in the oval is Alcantara Leather, like they use on the Ferrari dashboards.
All the best,
Peter Carbone

welcome!
Thanks.
I always loved the look of the HUNDREDS with the windshield folded down and the clean side view without door handles.
My car was NEVER gonna be in a concours event so the sky was the limit with modifications.
I attached my directions for "chopping the windshield".
I'm sure there are many owners who can't wait to make this modification :smile:
