Don't believe all that you see on TV. The car has been for sale by Bill for several years now, --and was on the Facebook MARC page earlier in the year where all of the armchair appraisers and self-proclaimed experts picked it apart and started a bashing war.

I too have seen the car in person, and while it has been modified it is a very nice starting point for someone who desires to authentically restore the car to a fine-point status. Yes, the price seems excessive to some but when you find yourself paying the expenses in both time & $$ necessary in finding the correct items for a fine-point restoration, those costs soon start aligning with Coleman's asking price.

If there is someone that I really hate in TV-land it is W. Carini !
I've watched several shows of him and in every of them I noticed this ;
he is always been contacted to come and see a rare vintage, classic car in a place were the owner passed away, and who was a very good friend of W.C.. And then his view on the case : "I've always wanted that car in my collection, I will take care of it, bla bla bla" And when he comes home with the car he decides to put it up for auction because "the car doesn't fit in his collection".
he is steling it form the owners family and is making K of $$ out of it.
I can't watch that guy anymore ! Car Collector my A$ ! Collector of $ bills : yes.
That is my opinion.

The head and distributor drive are from Charlie Yapp. The head is the
