|

Don Bulitta, from Phoenix, Arizona, purchased this '66 from the original owner way back in 1984. This L519 Bahama Blue beauty has logged over 400,000 miles since new!
The car is fitted with Flat-4 BRMs, the interior is beige vinyl with oatmeal carpeting, and a Flat-4 reproduction Empi GT steering wheel and a Berg locking 5 speed shifter
have been fitted. An NOS trip speedometer has also been installed.
For the suspension, Don fitted a 2" narrowed beam with dropped spindles running KYB GR-2 shocks and stock brakes. The rear uses Sway-A-Away adjustable spring plates and Porsche 356B brakes.
