The car had a complete, show-quality engine compartment restoration in 2011 by Wayne and Aaron Davis of Franktown, Colorado. The original engine and transmission were removed from the car, engine bay was repainted in the original Hialeah Yellow, and everything was repainted, replated, or replaced. The engine remained completely stock and was not rebuilt, since the internal engine parts were in great shape. Brand new period-correct hoses, brake lines, and wiring harness were added, so the end result is an engine compartment that looks like it came out of the factory! Here are several “before” photos followed by photos of the restoration and the end result.
