    I'm the new owner of Pauls amazing restoration.Couldn't be happier with the quality and attention to detail.Unfortunately there is about six inches of snow on the ground and it's only fifteen degrees below zero celcius.Ain't no drivin' for awhile. Hurry up spring.

    Shoulda sold it to a warmer climate! That's SUCH a great car and you should be super happy to own THE BEST carb 308 around. A fantastic piece of work for sure.

    Hope you're keeping the fluids moving and tires from flat-spotting this winter. You're going to have an awesome spring!

    Enjoy starting her up and listening to her sing. It will have to do until you can take her out on the open road.

    Little secret for ya..... It's worth the wait. :)

    The car couldn't be in better hands! He had already driven it prior to the bad weather and congratulated me on a wonderful restoration, which was a great compliment I wont soon forget. He's happy so im happy.

    Thanks again Bernie.

    Paul.

    That car is probably much better than any that rolled off the assembly line. Hopefully, the new owner will keep it in like condition.

    Welcome and congratulations, that IS the nicest GTB I've ever seen! Is it still in CANADA? I'm doing mine up to less than half the quality and it's costing me as much already! I hope that Newman's, er I mean YOUR car is still in CANADA.........Ciao, Dino

    I have to admit, Paul Newman's 308 trumps my 328, which was owned by Reggie Jackson when I bought it at Bonham's in August.
