    Sounds like it was very tired, needing engine and suspension rebuild.

    5 speed on 250 GTO in 1962.

    2163GT.

    I wonder if she had acquired the engine from 250 GT California Spyder Competizione 1615GT prior to the time of the article?

    Most information says engine swap was done in the 1970s.
