This is the 1958 Century Arabian we acquired in 2011. Engine is the original Gray Marine "Fireball 225" 327 V-8 (actually an AMC Gen I by American Motors) with about 850 hours on the clock. It needed very little work before launching and surprised us only once on the water with a broken distributor cap. Though reliable now with good oil pressure, compression is on the low side and needs a rebuild to restore its original power and reliability.
