I don't really expect to get any help with this post, but I'll put it out there anyway - who knows, I may get lucky.
I just bought my 58 3A a few months ago, and have been trying everything to trace its history. The guy I got it from knew very little, and so far I have not found out much other than its original destination from the factory was Hawaii (didn't even ship with a heater!!). I bought the car from a guy in Dallas, who got it from a Dusseau and Cotter in Bigfork, MT in 2000. They told him the car came from California where it was restored. It has a sticker on it from the September, 93 rally at Flag Is Up Farms in Southern California.
The car, TS31073L,is heavily modified from the original, including having a 66 TR4A engine, CT51661E. It was originally signal red body and trim with a white hood and side curtains. It is now signal red with black everything else.
Anybody just happen to know anything about my little red baby?
