Major restoration performed by Huffaker, completed in 1991. Extensive rehab of the entire chassis and engine by owner in '01/'02. Two race weekends since rehab.

The car has been repainted and will look like it did when it was a factory race car. The final photo is by Allen Kuhn and shows Pedro Rodreguez at the 1963 Times GP at Riverside.
