Maintenance and Service Documents
1973-2015: No information on service performed on the vehicle prior to 2015 is known except that the second owner had refurbished part of the interior and repaired an apparent gunshot damage to the right rear quarter panel and the right rear fuel tank.
2016-2018: Upon delivery of the vehicle to European Motor Studio LLC in 2016, extensive refurbishment was undertaken. All of the front suspension, steering and brakes were replaced as well as just about all of the bushings, center link, control arms and ties rods. The whole top half of the engine was completely rebuilt and re-machined. All 6 carbs were rebuilt and all fluids, hoses, belts and seals replaced. A full valve job was performed and new valve guides and pressured tested and milled cylinder head installed as well. Finally, the clutch cylinders and brake boosters were rebuilt and new Michelin XWX period tires were mounted.
2018 - : Upon delivery to the third owner in 2018, the A/C system was overhauled. The entire car was stripped of paint as necessary and all minor dents and scratches repaired before a complete two stage metallic green repaint was applied. All new rubber seals on the body were installed. Wheels refinished and chrome parts rechromed as needed. The complete interior was removed and restored in a Ivory finish. An original Driver's Manual was located for the car as well. The bumpers were restored to original European format. The rubber bumper guards installed to meet USA standards when imported in 1974 were removed. A genuine Nardi wooden steering wheel was installed.
