Today my dreams came true

Well, I've always loved and wanted to have the original American racing buggy. Well, today my dream came true...



A package came in the mail today:







Behold, the gold tub in all its glory! ALL ORIGINAL!!!!







Here it is next to the cutting edge in technology, the Factory Team B4:













My plans are to restore this thing with mainly parts available back then. But, I want to get the RPM stealth conversion, the MIP BB steering kit, a T3 slipper clutch, and bearings throughout. Also, I'll be getting a Tekin G10 for this and maybe a Orion V2 19t element to power it.



I hope the guy that traded it doesn't miss this piece of history too much, because I'm in love with it!
