no joke, the buddy who built my vert, installed finally an engine in his red 53 oval. the car was already finished over 30 years (!) ago by him (the split window is not original - like many other things ), but with no engine, so it was sitting in his shop the whole time..
we took the first ride on this day along the Rhine River.. |
