Full restoration carried out by owner Tom Moretti in a private home workshop equipped to professional standard. Included stripping the body — which confirmed the original dark blue factory colour — and recreating the original finish with correct pinstripe pattern and width based on archival research at the Detroit Public Library. Original body, engine, frame, axle, and steering components all retained.

Restoration completed prior to the 2009 Pebble Beach showing; the car had covered only 604 miles at time of cataloguing. Wohlwend is credited with initiating the strip-down phase before passing the car to Moretti.
