Hey Ken,
   
   Are you in MI? I am about to tear into my AEX 674. Maybe we can share resources?

   Hello Ken and Gus.  I am in Michigan - my car did come from PA.  Found it in a chicken coup along with several Ferraris a couple of years ago where it sat since 1972 (true story).  Non restored car that I did brakes on to get back on the road.  Drives very well, looks like you would expect but every one agrees I shouldn't touch it.  Have put about 3000 miles on it since late last summer.  Had to replace the main bearings to cure an engine rumble - not shot, just wear on the middle two bearings due to age and crank shaft wip.  Otherwise I haven't had to touch a thing.  These are great cars - are either of yours on the road?

That is an amazing story. I would love to see the car someday. I remeber the days when I still lived in Europe and my parents and I would go on vacation in France in the summer. Every barn we drove by had something antique in it. Those days are over. Anyway, I am about to tear into mine. IOt had a restoration about 20 years ago, it needs work. i'm goign to get mine to be eligeable for historic racing.
