It's PURPLE !! I drove it for 7 years almost daily, and it got very tired. Needed a complete redo, so I tore it down. I got involved with a girlfriend, and we were busy doing the relationship things like bike riding and trips, so it just sat for the next seven years. I kept planning on repainting everything and building a fresh engine for it, but somehow just never got around to it. I did strip the body back down to bare gelcoat a couple of years ago in preparation for a proper paint job, but then it got shelved again.

But, to give you a good answer why I haven't put it back together, I really can't. It is just one of those things that got shoved into a corner and forgotten. When the first of the year comes I plan on first finishing up the Dodge truck, because that one is so near being drivable, then I am going to start back on the '27. Over those 7 years of driving it I found some things I want to change (drop the front of the engine down an inch or so, etc).
