Thanks! I still need to arrange shipping to San Diego so am not sure when it lands. Funny, the car's last owner lived in Temecula--around 1 hour north of San Diego. The original owner/family had the car from 1972-2014. I spoke with the son of the original owner this morning--he took over ownership when the father, Gene Donato, passed. They owned an auto dealership and my car was on display in the showroom for many years. They also specialized in European car parts. He still has a file on the car so maybe I can get some additional information and period photos! By the way, the Massini report on this car contains an error in that it never came with AC. Massini also shows unknown owner from 1997-2014 but we now know the owner was the son (so it stayed in the family). Am super happy!!!

 

Thanks Shawn! Actually flying out to Houston tomorrow but won’t have a chance to see it due to my schedule— the great unveiling will have to wait until the car arrives in San Diego
