Carburetors were upgraded and jetted to X-Pack specification and a custom ignition system installed. Large bore custom headers and a large bore custom exhaust compliment the build. To manage the increased torque of the new motor the differential carrier bolts were strengthened and a 3.73 posi differential was installed. This Volante has been a two-time Greenwich Concours participant and is accompanied by an impressive catalogue of long time ownership maintenance and restoration records in addition to the factory books, jack and tools.
