This version was commissioned in 1983 by Dr. Peter C. Kesling of LaPorte, Indiana, after the original blueprints resurfaced. The body is aluminum, the frame ash, and the chassis is reported to be the original 8-90. It has a 115hp eight cylinder of unspecified origin. -- Last edit: 2012-03-08 14:40:07
