Gloria:  VIN is listed as: 3N552600-near the end.  Hard to tell-VIN tag
painted over, as are the hood hinges.  Body off resto.  Might's well a done
'er right.

Projected sale price $70K-$90K.  Must be due to the added backup lights and
boxed radiator shroud. Probably helps cooling in Texas heat.  No power
windows or seat and no outside rear view mirrors, either. 

Wayne Davis collection (v. nice!) RM Auction 4/19-Southlake, TX (NE of Ft.
Worth).  No reserve.  Put $50K in a sock, register, visit and see what
happens.  

$100 oil might convert to high prices.  Cheap US$ makes these cars easier to
obtain by foreigners.  Barrett-Jackson and a few other auction prices seemed
a little thin this year.

The engine shots show a small-diameter crankcase vent cap that has nice
clearance to the upper radiator hose.  The vent on our car is larger
diameter and its edge contacts the hose.  Which is correct?  If the large
cap is correct, is there a trick to keeping the cap out of the hose?


C-300'ly,
Rich Barber
