Condition
9
The vehicle underwent a meticulous nut-and-bolt restoration to its original condition by Farland Classic Restoration. The restorer sourced a collection of new old stock parts, and the son of "Wacky" Arnolt provided a reference car to ensure design integrity. Though the original engine block was unsalvageable, a brand new recreation block and head were sourced directly from England and stamped with the original engine number. The car debuted at the 2015 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, where it was driven on the 75-mile Tour d’Elegance and named one of the Most Beautiful Cars.
