It wasn't a license plate frame. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/rolleyes.gif[/img] JMO

I've heard of this car but never saw any pics until now, very cool.

Is the spare original to the car? It looks like the correct tire but looks to have more than 1,700 miles on it...could be just a bad angle.

wow

awesome

that has survived storage well

I see why the original tires were replaced (the spare is original).
The belts always broke loose and shifted, I had two sets of those tires back in the day, they were JUNK, brand new ones that I was given to replace the defective originals went bad within 500 miles ...

I had to drive 60 miles from the mountains to get to civilization and couldn't go over 35 because of the shifted belts - they were awful BUT Firestone DID give me yet another set, NOT the Steel Radial 500 series, to fix the situation

Awesome piece of history and thanks for sharing!! Hopefully this car ends up with it's own webpage similar to your Z's page. The information would be priceless!

Nice car even though its Red! Ha, just had to since it appears most of them are/where.

The valance thing is a mounting issue for sure however I've seen quit a few 30k+ cars thats still sport their originals without any cracks and/or breaks. Maybe it all depended on the beginning of the week or the end for those production boys?

Would like to see it in person for better documentation however if you have any other photos of the rear undercarriage mainly axle and suspension would be appreciated. Along with the front since there should be another spoiler off the radiator support.

Quit a few things are different like the bolts for the rear bumper are usually smeared with undercoating around the heads and these are not. Its egr valve looks silver instead of gold cad, the resonators rusted out or aged similar to the exhaust pipes(due to lack of heat these never burnt off?), the spare is a GR70-15 but looks used ? and a few other items are different.
What is the build date on this car ?
Also I know there where more then one parts vendor for most items used in assembly which can account for most of my notes above.

Killer Car and want to Thank You for posting. Hopefully we al get to see it in the future in person to review and document
Thanks again for posting!

That car needs to be documented for an SD restoration guide.
