Tim,
I know the owner/restorer of this Golden Lancer. He has told me that the dash one "option" was added during the recent restoration, using corect original parts. It is my understanding that this car is an original Golden Lancer D500, originally a single 4 bbl, converted to a dual quad. I hope to be able to take a closer look at it at Barrett Jackson on Wednesday. I have see his work before and it is VERY VERY good. This should be a very well done car and should bring big bucks.
The owner of this car works for 57 Heaven and has restored most of the cars in the collection, including a dozen or so 57 Mopars. Check them out at:
