You are going to enjoy seeing the pictures of George ~ ggb313's beautiful red 1960 Convertible with Tri-Power! Here are a few things George had to say about her. BTW, I do not know what name he has given her. That is what I nicknamed her when I saw her! Maybe it should be the "Red Baroness"!
"Thank you for the kind words about my 430 convertible. I've had a lot of them over the years and a national class 57 (also XKE roadster '66)
I design, build and restore golf courses now. A few years ago I got rid of at least two of the three cars. I kept the 60 convertible because it was a bit more practical.
It has all options except the spot light. Dottling wanted me to put it in but I did not have the heart to make a hole in the dash and the car ....
The tri-power is quite unique - needed some modifications to fit under the hood - huge air cleaner.
The 430 air conditioner Dottling took out of a 430 hardtop many years ago, continental kit, engine was bored out 30-over years ago and with the tri-power it is well over 400 HP.
The bottom two pix show the original Merc installation.
There was/is a Lincoln version also all built by Bill Stroppe in the 1960's."
George, I also have a NOS spotlight/rear view mirror that I will probably put on YellowRose. In fact, I have two of them. Thanks for the beautiful pix and for joining our Forum. We have a great bunch of guys and gals here. In a couple of the pix she has a darker red look to her, but I think that is because there was no sun to brighter her up! Here are the pix!
