Rich and John,
When I purchased my BN7, it had been garaged since 1976.
I'm told that the original owner use to street race it in Fort
Lauderdale FL., which would explain why I needed a complete transmission
rebuild. When I began disassembly, I too discovered copper colored
shocks, which were shot, on the front end. I consulted my restoration
guide as to the correct color and copper colored shocks are never
mentioned. What John says about them being a competition upgrade would
make sense since the original owner beat the tar out of the tranny.
Maybe some day I'll have them rebuilt.
Steve Meyer '61 BN7
