Location: Westminster, California
TCs owned:
1948 TC 5890 / XPAG 6374, Blue / Biscuit
Bought the TC in ’74 with the engine in a basket with the intent to assemble the engine and sell the car for a nice profit. It was a year before I got the engine together and the car on the road. Drove it for six years before undertaking the cosmetic work in 1981. The engine is near stage three with 9.25:1 compression ratio, large valves and +0.060″ bore. It became a member of the family and is not for sale.
