Thought y'all might like to see an interesting car that's in my shop. According to the owner, it's pretty much original ...........

We looked at a cooling system problem. Blew coolant all along 101 from "somewhere near Salinas" (kinda catchy phrase, don'tcha think?). Retorquing the head didn't make any difference, so the owner went home to fetch a trailer. He's bringing a 914 up for a "make run". The emblem on the doors is the Autobooks/Aerobooks logo. He's an associate, in some way, of the owner. She and her husband were here, too, in a later model of the same car. The grille pieces are fixed, but you can open the vents in each side of the hood for more cooling. Front and rear doors share common hinges. I'll get some more pix tomorrow ..........
