His mechanic is Tom Welles of "German Car Repair" in Costa Mesa.
La Jolla did the AC conversion on it so I suppose it is known to Carl or one of his techs. May call tomorrow to ask about it.
He is getting me some photos of the typical problem areas on these, though he says it is a very clean car.
He just installed new control arms, battery, starter motor, and fixed the safety cut-off on the transmission.
He is including a Nardi wheel BMW button w/ momo adapter for the steering wheel.
Second owner, who commissioned the restoration, was a "Bogdon" of "bring-a-trailer" fame but I am unclear who he is. He had it restored in San Francisco. Perhaps some of our Bay Area members may know of the car. I will ask who did the restoration.
He says the known issues are the cable for the moon roof recently broke, but everything aside that works. It has an exhaust leak on one of the mufflers. Cigarette lighter does not work, but it does have power. The rebuilt AC is leaking freon.
