Carl Herrera now owns this engine . He has totally restored it to its original beauty. He spent many hours repiping and repairing worn out parts . The purple paint is still the original paint but most of the black paint is new.

The Shay really looks great, I remember it from when Francis Mosley owned it, was pleased to see you even have the cable wrapped around the sand dome.
