    Thanks! If you ever have any questions about the car history, LMK. I know most of it for the bulk of its life including what Jim Simpson told me when I visited him.

    Good to see her still (solid lifter ticking) along.

    Yes, I was just on the phone with Jim last week talking about the Italia, and getting some parts ordered, are you the original owner?

    I bought it from the original Florida owner who did a (not great) job putting it together. It was painted blue but otherwise stock.

    I had it repainted (twice) back to Silverstone, swapped in the LE interior, etc. I owned from 2002-ish until 2011-ish when Martin bought it.

    I dunno about the plug wires. BUT...

    The valve cover was just painted red a long time ago by me as a short term thing because I actually had a 323 GTX valve cover powder coated red crinkle coat to put on— which didn’t happen before Martin bought it.

    Back in the day it was much tougher to go COP than it is today. #OldTimer

    Hey Steve! wave

    That second pic was at Roger’s for Eric’s memorial service, I believe.

    And the top one is at an early Rspeed House.
