Yes, this is the one.  It has less stickers and crap on it now though.  
I pine for this car, the one that got away.  It didn't so much get away 
as I was a shortsighted fool.  My first chance was when it showed up at 
Woodburn several years ago with a relative of the original owner.  It 
was low miles (50k?), all original paint, interior, 6volt, etc.  It was 
just out of the garage and looking "used".  I think he wanted 4k, and I 
didn't realize how special it was (not that I had the money).  6 months 
later I saw an add in the Oregonian for a red interior '66 for $3k.  
Some kid owned it and must not have realized how old cars make for 
uncomfortable long road trip cruisers.  In any case, he hadn't screwed 
it up yet, but I was stupid and should have sold something expensive 
like one of my bicycles and bought the damn thing.  The next time I see 
it is at the PIR show (above pic), and it has been buffed and cleaned 
and looks immaculate, dude wants over $5k for it.  Probably still worth it.
