James,
I'm not sure if was an original or not, it has all the bodywork, stripes,
the correct wheels, etc.
If it's there again, is there a way I can tell?
It was also turbocharged and had "period looking" finned aluminum valve
covers & air cleaner so it "appeared" to be original.
I'll get the pictures scanned and sent off to you.
