Thanks guys. Yes, I feel quite lucky to have found this one. It's pretty cool how much documentation she had saved over the years. You can tell this was her baby. I'm also pretty lucky to have a wife who understands all this.
I ran the VIN, I think it was built in October, but it was also delivered in October. I have to go back and check the numbers and dates again, unless they built it and she got it right off the truck. She has passed on, I may talk to her daughter a little and try and find out more.
The plans are to fix the the little things, but not do a restoration, it does need a few things here and there.
The Ghostrider print is actually a tapestry I framed.

Most buyers went for the flashy colors, like blues or reds so the tan or beige colors are the rarest ones you will find today. Good find, and very striking in that color with the hardtop. Only one I've seen.

Thanks for all the compliments. I am pretty excited, lots to learn though.
Okay, a few more pictures. I'll be honest, these are the glamor shots, there is plenty here to keep me busy.
