What a gorgeous car. This is one of the most beautiful cars ever made. I once had a 1959 twin cam convertible imported by a GI from Germany. The engine had dropped a valve and punctures the piston. This was evidently due of the lean burn. I believe this has been solved. Purchased the car in 1973 for $300. How things change!
