New member with question on PF car

[Bitzman]

Maybe the administrator can move this to the thread

First,regarding the proper engine, I would think the engine that the factory records show was in the car during PF's showing of it or the chassis was shipped from Germany is the only proper engine because to show the car as customized by Mr, Springer would only be appropriate if you had  a display along the lines of "The Cars of Axel Springer"
If we go by what individual owners do to their cars, judges at Pebble Beach ,etc wouldn't know what was "right"

Regarding the owner chain,for an article I can post here or in any magazine that will take it I am only interested in the early owners ,wondering is there any ads in Road % Track etc.giving a hint of what it was bought or sold for in its early years?

Here's the early owners:
Pininfarina
A. Springer
Mrs, Springer (after Axel's deathMaybe it was )
Unkown owner in Monaco
Joe Morell Palm Springs

Maybe it was Mrs. Rosemarie Springer who owned it in Monaco

Tom Tjaarda wrote a recent article about the car in a British magazine,not sure if it was Octane or one of the other two devoted to old cars

Not sure what you are asking or what you want to know. 
Are you perhaps the person who visited here already as "History Buff"?? http://www.sl113.org/forums/index.php?topic=19526

When I was working on Sunset strip in West Hollywood between 1970-73 from the 8th floor office I was in I saw the Pininfarina pagoda in red being driven into this lot of exotic cars but driven out a few minutes later, presumably because the used car lot had offered too little for it. Little did I know that over 40 years later I would want to know what the cart was being offered for at that time--I knew I could never make it down to the street in time to catch the owner/seller.I am predicting that when we hear the answer,it will under $10,000. Was there an ad in Road% Track? Also does anyone know who the owner was about that time?

Thanks for bringing up old memories of cars missed...
