The engine is not original to the car, having been removed early on in the cars life and if I am not mistaken, substituted for a small block when George bought it. George spent years putting together the engine as time and spare funds allowed, so don't expect to garner much in the way of originality from it. You will also notice the cowl has been "sliced" open at some point. The registry states a nose replacement, but looking at the inner fender panels and rails, I believe this may be incorrect. Interior and undercarriage are all original and undisturbed, same with the trunk.
