This is the real thing . A Sept. 1965 factory U13 Roadster restored to show-room stock original specs .
This was a body-off-the-frame restoration .
Great care & research went into making what started out as a very complete & original unmolested roadster into a near perfect example of what rolled off the assembly line in Sept. of 1965 .
As many original parts were reused even down to reconditioning the nuts & bolts where possible .
