Thanks for the welcome. The original owner of the orange W30 was in a minor fender bender in the early '80s and decided to change the paint color from Burgundy mist(original color) to the color you see today. It has all the original equipment including the motor, drive train, carb, dist, alt., etc. The red W30 post has a spare motor and 4 speed trans that are built to the original W30 specs. The original motor and trans are safely stored away.

Welcome. Is it really a non-original orange or is it Rally Red, which was an available color in 1970?

Welcome to the site, Joe. That's some stable ya got there, congratulations! Beautiful cars. I watched all 9:04 of that convertible walk around....sharp car!
What did you run in that race? Couldn't read the time and I thought I heard "13.." something. Seemed quicker than that. Very impressive.
Best of luck with your rides and thanks for sharing.
