RE: Originality
I would question "all original" claim.... for exmple, engine mount cross memeber should be black, not orange, no wear on interior or rubber, etc.

Hmmm... car certainly has the credentials, awards. I was under the impression that the engine cross mount was supposed to be engine color.

The man selling it, Gary is an NCRS judge, very nice and knowledgeable to talk to. He does not sell junk, so I would believe it.

...I remember when this car started it's "show circuit" tour. I believe it was at the NCRS Regional in Cincinnati, Ohio in 1999 when I was having my Yellow '80 4spd car judged there. It was surely a stunning car.

I saw this car at Bend , Oregon NCRS National and Regional events in 1980 and again in 1982. It has been passed around and loved since then. There were items on the car then that had been changed, but by and large it is a real 2900 mile original car. A Museum piece if you will.
If you like a true piece of Survivor History, then you will enjoy this car.
