I haven't seen them before and they are great.

Are there any more and do you have them at  better resolution than the 640x480 posted versions?

Whoa, sweet!  Nutz, haven't seen that before.

Was it done recently for a museum or to train mechanics back in the 70's?  Incredibly clinical looking cutaway.

It looks like the one at Irvine.  Tom (parts manager) let me know that it was used to train employees when the motor was first introduced.  Until the Classic Centre opened, it languished in a warehouse.  It was very nearly disposed of but the Classic Centre knew the interest in it and requested it for display.

Hm. I went to the Classic Center in Irvine this past summer and the building does look somewhat like the one I visited but looks a bit different in some places. It could be the other Classic Center in I forget where..
