Thanks for all the encouragement guys
I parted out a SC400, 4 litre quad cam v8, electronic 4 speed auto trans, irs, big brakes etc etc. In Australia a Soarer is the inline six version of the same car.
My COE i bought in Modesto CA and it originally was a Hosewagon for the Sacremento Fire Dept, Almost totally rustfree and clean, i was very fortunate to get it,
My 56 Panel i got from right in Pomona LA, but not from the famous Pomona swapmeet.
It is in amazing condition, never been in an accident or suffered any panel damage, rust
hamfisted owners.
Was last on the road in 62, and been in storage ever since. It recieved a 460/c6 and Volare swap some years ago and then went back into storage again until i was lucky enough to see it in the recycler.

cheers from Oz John
