Might be cheaper to have a metal master shop make new sheet metal.

I was thinking the same thing Charley. OF course, the original front clip would be the perfect ending, but if the new owner can't get it (for one reason or another) I'm sure he'll have one made. Then what happens to the value of the one in FL??????

It's happened with Z-11s. There are restored cars out there and other people who cling onto the original aluminum for them. But we're jumping the gun with theories.
I hope that once a new owner is known, the principal parties will participate in a web forum to keep the rest of us updated on the progress of this super rare car.

That's going to be a really expensive restoration!

IF the guy that owns the front end and IF the guy that owns the transaxle will sell them to the new owner.I figure about 75K plus putting a correct 63 421 engine together.Wont be for the weak heart or wallet.Tiemann looked at it for me and thinks after being stripped it will need some metal pieces as there have been a lot of critters living in it for a long time.Tom
