Special process.....scrap old paint off with razor blade  to bare metal , save shavings, 

go to lab and seperate original paint from  Earl Schieb paint , bondo and spray cab paint , 

Now you have "original paint "  if more is needed send it to special "paint cloning" lab 

Its a very special process , done by Germans in white lab coats........

In reply to noddaz :

on the factory Kardex ( Build sheet)  the chassis number and engine number is recorded , 

if I was to guess it has the original engine number on the Kardex , then in the comments below it would say the engine number that the factory changed it too , and the date .

Hope that helps

The car is very beautiful, I am impressed with the exterior of the car, not sure what its price is?
