Totally restored, original, Concourse pan off resto, complete pan painted. Body interior and exterior professionally painted original black color. New wiring, left everything as 6 volt to be stock. Semiphores that are original to the car. Matching 55 pan and body.
Has a stock period correct Okrasa motor and tranny. Engine chemically strippe, rebuilt, has all original period correct tin, heater boxes, sleds. All powder coated. Round regulator and big nut on pulley, the list goes on. All the usual things that Joe from Okrasa does. Tranny is a restored/ rebuilt 1955 splitcase transmission. Housing and nose cone have been chemically stripped and powder coated blac, all steel pinion, differential, axle bearings, rebushed nose cone, new gasket set, one piece boots with correct "buckle-strap" clamps. Both were completed by Joe Ruiz from Okrasa in 2011. Not sure if the engine is matching but it is in the correct date range. Starter disassembled, cleaned and lubed.

All period correct seats, correct red vinyl, the only defect at all is a couple of small tears on the corner of botton rear seat, pictured. Probably the only defect I can think of or see on the entire car. Rubber floor mats. German square weave medium brown carpet, German Beige headliner, three fold rag top (Black canvas) all from West Coast Classics. Original working Perohaus dash clock. All chrome items on dash have been rechromed. Keys and lock cylinders done by Gabrial Garcia.

Correct 120mm fuel tank, new Wide whitewall tires, and one year only egg tail lights. German running boards and show quality sill plates. Brakes, hoses and brake lines have all been replaced with quality product, German when possible, such as German master cylinder. Backing plates ect powder coated. All cables replaced, new shocks. Correct grooved door handles and window cranks, all rechromed. Appropriate large SEKURIT logo on windows. All new rubber, seals, felt channels, scrapers, ect. This car had a complete nut and bolt restoration, there is nothing that has not been detailed, painted, powder coated or attended to.
Correct original 55 fenders. Stainless Steel Harrington bumpers.
Not sure why I tried to go through all the new parts and everything that was done to this car because everything was done to it and I am sure I missed many of the details. Please just ask if you have questions. I have all my receipts, many photos of resto process, engine, tranny build, ect.
Title free and clear and in my name, in hand!!
Work on the car was completed in 2013 and has very few miles since then. I only drive it around the grass to keep things moving properly. Stored in climate controlled garage.
Will assist with finding a transporter for shipping car. Buyer pays shipping. Thanks
