Apparently the car was owned initially in Texas it was sold two years ago thru a broker to the gentleman I bought it from in San Francisco. He has had the car maintained and stored at Top OF the Hill in Livermore. The car only has 780 miles on the odometer with fewer than one hundred in the last two years. The engine was originally installed in a Shelby GT500 (or so I'm told) and at some time must have seen drag duty as it is fitted with aluminum connecting rods. Needless to say I feel like I'm getting schooled now for not doing my homework up front. I paid $55,000 for thw car and even with a rebuild, hopefully won't feel too bitter

Roland will post pictures tomorrow
