1516 Back on the road
« on: April 25, 2019, 09:35:02 AM »
Very pleased to say 1968's #1516 is back on the road for the first time since the late seventies or very early eighties. It drives very well with the ever so slight modifications and now has 101 miles on the new odometer.

  Looks fantastic! I have a raven black KR I've been picking away at. Has not seen the road since 1971. Shooting for maybe late summer or fall.
