Dick still had the original motor...some sleeves in it. Part of a few motors used in rotation. He added more than a few things electronically (gauges, relays, etc.) as time went on...the dash isn't too original. The turkey pan was more rounded and probably came from a GT40. The nose, and a few dings over the years...the rear fire damage...nothing was really really bad per Dick. Funny bumpers added after the first year or so...before Dick bought it. The unusual double outlet side pipes were just used for the street...still had the originals.
Great racing history...not too many 427s surpassed it (if any, come to think about it).
Joe Boghosian built/rebuilt all of the motors for it for decades. Gordon Levy refreshed it when he lived here in Fresno. Ken Christiansen kept it running for the last decade or so.
The car was basically kept as raced...even to the point of causing a really stupid moronic idiot judge from SCCA to take points away at a concours because the original spare wheel looked so dirty and old.
Most important thing about the car? Dick hisownself. Watched him blow the
oil cooler lines (and the motor) at the Historics a few years ago staying ahead of a GT40...caused him and the Fliptop to spin a few times (no damage to either thanksbetogod). Joe gave him some hell for doing that.
