Interesting that everything is worn out. Chris do you know the miles on the car? Was it used extensively? Maybe @DobleDude knows.

I think the positive that you can take from this it that yes they did do high milage so they must have worked quite well at one time, this is the time we plan to take them back too

I think that is good news. The car worked well enough at one time to wear all the parts out. As opposed to a Bucciali that was basically a display car for shows.
