He bought it with his own money... was mad at me because I sold "HIS" DB 770. It has a spun rod, hoping the crank isn't trashed. It is as late a 870 as I have seen back east. The tag looks like a "970" though, the platform is certainly a 870 one though as it is stepped, not flat like a 9 or 10, and the bolts that hold the dash in place don't look to have ever been out.
Any ideas where the aluminum tags on the side of the hood originate? I haven't seen them there before.
It should be a good "daddy and me" project for this summer. I told him I would "help" with the rebuild and cover his parts cost if he did some fieldwork for me.
