I guess Tim Wellborn is selling some cars to make room for more...

This was the one-of-one sunroof car I bought back in 1988 after bugging the owner once a month for five years straight. I tracked it down from a dusty old Polaroid picture I had for years. The persistance paid off eventually and the owner sold it to me. I rebuilt the original engine, drove it around, and even ran it at the Musclecar Nationals in 1988. I think it ran a 13.80 if I recall correctly? I eventually sold the car to the linebacker Kevin Greene in 1994 and he sold it to Wellborn in 2004.

Cool car. All born-with drivetrain and every option you could get. (And no you could not get hideaway headlights with the colored bumpers, so that is why it didn't have them). It was even ordered with the ultra-rare rear shoulder harnesses, invoiced for them on the broadcast sheet but they were never installed on the assembly line. 32,000 miles on it when I sold it. 35,000 miles now.

I'd love to have this one back in case anyone out there wants to buy it for me. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img]

Quite a few. A lot of them got away once more pressing things in life came up...wife's credit card bills, kids college bills, pets' vet bills.... [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img]

Was your sunroof car featured in a major Musclecar or Mopar mag back when Steve or maybe an even classier publication like Collectible Automobile?
Cool fact w/ the no hideways and colored bumper thing...the one of one combo w/ Hemi and hole in the roof?

I had it way back when. It was featured in a couple of magazines back in the day when it still had its original paint. I had it scuffed and repainted in 1991. The original paint was so badly applied at the factory and so thin that people would insult the car when I brought it to shows. There was almost no paint (just primer) on the firewall and lower inner fenders. The paint on the rear valance was just a continuous series of drip marks. The passenger quarter even had a big hunk of lead in it where they must have dripped it down when they were doing the original roof seams. They just smeared it around instead of removing it, and then just painted over it.

Here it is back when I found it in 1988.

Damn! You have definitely had some nice cars over the years Steve.

Oh yeah...I am the Forrest Gump of musclecars. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Life is like a box of lifters. You never know which one is ticking til you adjust it...over and over again.

I know for a fact the car made the cover of Musclecars Magazine. I may have made Muscle Car Review, Musclecar Classics, and Guide to Muscle Cars, but I can't remember.
