Cool little piece of history, Verne - too cool it's still handy!

Thanks for sharing, what a cool story. Glad to see it returned to LH drive and someone enjoying it.

That is really well done - thanks for sharing. Hat's off to Verne as well for his involvement in preserving a piece of history.

That video is definitely the best one yet. Ed told me he had to wear ear plugs on that ride. Just a little LOUD!

I got lucky. The donor car for the LHD conversion had a blue interior so the dash is still original paint. Other than the donor dash and a new carpet, the rest of the interior is all original as well. I'm glad he decided to let me do the conversion here before I shipped it over to him. The result is just like the Van Nuys plant did it in the first place.
