Here are some photos of the famous GPA taken when I discovered it in a scrap-yard in California, March 2006. Its now on its way to a safe home in Norway.

I don't remember the numbers, but I will keep you updated as soon as I have her back home! All plates are there, and she even had GPA **** stamped on the engine block! The plate was dated 42, but unfortunately I did'nt take any photos of the numbers before shipping her.....

Regards Erik
