We purchased this car roughly 10 years ago in California. At that time we were buying numerous rust-free southern 107 cars and restoring them here in MN. We gave this car new paint, soft top, upholstery, carpet and re-finished the wheels. When the car was complete we drove it for a while and realized it had a bad cylinder and was burning oil to the point of fouling the plug every couple days. We removed the engine and brought it to our re-builder where it sat for a couple months, thereafter he decided he could not properly accomplish the cylinder preparation after boring so we collected the parts and it all got pushed aside. Sometime thereafter someone bought the transmission and heads and the block was scrapped. Its a very nice looking rare car and I'm tempted to put a little Chevy in it for fun but I really don't have the time. This car has a California salvage title as it had been vandalized when we bought it. The paint had been keyed and the seats slashed. It still looks good and was stored indoors, has a small bubble spot near the convertible top opening but it could be easily made presentable, the upholstery should clean up like new. It does have a hard top, it is sitting on a 560 in the pics. The 560 is not included of course. VIN WDB 10704612000043
