Greetings,
As a few of you may remember, back in November, a project Kaiser Darrin came up for sale on eBay. I purchased that car and it arrived almost a month ago. It is Darrin #285 and was originally painted Pine Tint (hence my username). According to the seller, who had the car for 40 years, the car was originally purchased by B movie actress Arline Judge. The seller bought this car from Judge's estate and disassembled the car and placed it in storage. It appears that most of the parts are with the car and I have only found, thus far, a handful of missing pieces though I have yet to go through and label every part. While I will not get to restore this Darrin for a few years, as I have two other cars to restore before the Darrin (both Woodill Wildfires), in the meantime I will be hunting down anything I will need for the car. If anyone has any history/information/photographs of this car from many years ago, please let me know. Also does anyone have the paint codes for a base/clear paint for both the Pine Tint and the Yellow Satin? I contacted PPG attempting to do a paint reference but they were of no help.
Nick
