Hi Denny,

 

Very cool, the car from Portland has been in Idaho with me since '06.

Nice to hear from someone who worked on the car in the past.

One of the only phone numbers I was able to find linked with the 

previous owner was a furniture store, but no one would ever answer

and their machine would not record a message.

Given the mountain of paperwork and receipts I got with the car I can 

believe he spent quite a bit of money on the car.

What company name would the work you did be under?

Maybe I can spot it in the records I have?

3168 is also the one linked on eBay as well.

 

Jeff

 

Hi Jeff,

 

I did not have my own company then, so there would not be any paper work
from me. The engine was built by Larsen & King Machine in Portland. 

 

They got a hold of me when their Pantera customer requested who paints
engines really well.  Larsen & King had noticed when they rebuilt my blower
motor (after my Camaro was stolen) how nice my block was painted. I was the
only one at the time to spend so much time on painting an engine.(in the mid
to late 80's) I painted the motor body color with Glasurit paint.  

 

They do great work. 

 

Why are you selling the car? 

 

Thanks, Denny #1769
