My Oval was built in November of 1954, purchased by Competition Motorsports in Hollywood, CA, and shipped to the US on December 2, 1954. Clear Texas title in my name. All numbers below, late November 1954

The car moved to dry Lubbock, TX, which is where I bought it in 2011. This is an original metal car, ribbed fenders, ribbed doors, aprons, etc (except decklid - 56) and has never been separated from the pan. Original pans are flawless. Interior of pans were coated with Lizard Skin, and bottom is painted in satin black. Painted Stratos Silver in 2012
Suspension:
Front and rear suspension rebuilt (4" narrowed beam), including front and rear bushings, shocks, etc.
4 wheel disc brakes, Airkewld rear kit cross drilled kit with parking brake
Dual circuit master cylinder
All new bearings, front and rear
All new stainless steel hard brake lines
Transaxle:
Original split-case transaxle in good condition, original shifter coupling just replaced and new WW mounts
36HP engine was rebuilt and modified with Okrasa heads, stage 2 cam, and dual Italian 36IDF carbs. Runs extremely well. Sync-Lync throttle system, full flow oil system, 6V electric fuel pump, Glenn-Ring distributor. I have parts (minus heads) to go back to stock.

Interior:
WW carpet kit
All seat frames were powdercoated, including springs, wrapped in custom pattern that closely resembles original. Correct early Oval seat frames.
WW Mohair grey headliner
WW rubber mats
Rare Items:
Egg tailights
3-month only speedometer
Elephant ear directional lights
Sunburst fuel cap
I have all the original brake parts, all rebuilt/powder coated and original engine tins/manifolds powder coated. The car could easily go back to stock. Brand new fuel reserve tap can be installed at Buyer's request.
I drive the car weekly (not my daily driver though), it was built to drive and is not a trailer car.
