    The 33 Terraplane 8 is a beautiful car, do it justice. I am currently working on one, refreshing the OE 8 cylinder engine to put back to stock. These were considered a factory Hot Rod in the day, favored by gansters ( search Dillenger Terraplane). They were light, low, and fast.

    I am interested in ANY OE parts that you may end up with on yours. Does it have the engine? I still have a long way to go to get this one back together, and would appreciate any spares I can find.

    Good luck!
