start with this one, as donor . . . dial is already the nice white; just blacken the registers, paint the hands blue, and you will be good to go

you can describe it as the first "Siffert" prototype that Heuer produced, as follows . . . Roger Penske donated this Camaro, suggested that they trim it in the Sonoco blue, and Caroll Shelby actually presented it to Jack Heuer, during the Daytona event . . . you can see that there were some issues with leakage, so they drilled out the square holes and added some round pegs . . . Siffert liked the look, and the rest is history!!
