Gee, what a coincidence. A little over a month ago I sent them an email asking for contact info to photographers who might have more photos of the car for an article I was writing about it. I guess the idea just came to them out of the blue...........

From what I understand, the car might be delivered to me tomorrow.

Thanks Pete,
I have all those photos. The container has arrived and cleared customs. I expected delivery today but there's a hitch. Now they tell me the shipping line needs the original Bill of Lading (which I don't have) before they'll release it. I've contacted the shipper in Australia but it's 1am Tues there now. They should have let us know this requirement earlier. Lack of planning on their part should not create an emergency on our part!

Please look at the photo of the engine bay and notice the headers. I'm trying to figure out who's they were. Notice the round flange on the collector. Bill Thomas made headers then, so did Frank Sanders and Dougs. If anyone can recognize them, I'd appreciate it.

Verne

Exciting for sure Pete. Also very nerve-wracking with delays and other arrangements. But the Gurney has landed and I can untie the knots in my stomach. It arrived perfectly unharmed. Back on US soil after 55 years

Too cool Verne and so great it landed unscathed.
Love how it still has a Don Steves plate frame, is the plate itself still w/ it too?
Tough to think if a more important W-car historically, amazing it's still around also finally back in the USA!
