Is that you that sent him the email Bill? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/laugh.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/laugh.gif

As much as I like Lemans Blue, wonder why they didn't do it up in the correct Azure Turquoise which is also a killer colour. You would think a seller would at least try and clean the car a little bit and do a few things like straighten out the seat belts, etc. Neat car none the less.

Don, on my monitor that paint does look like Azure turquoise. I think you just have LeMans blue on the brain https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/haha.gif

You know Bill, now that I have my glasses on, I think you're right https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/crazy.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/laugh.gif

I was going by the wording in the ad.

I sent the owner an email earlier today for a shot of the eng. stamp pad and asked if he had original BS's (not photo copies). Here is the reply:

"Sam,
I tried to get a camera to take a picture of the engine pad but it will not get a clear picture as the alternator and wiring are in the way i would have to disassemble those things and this car is too nice to take apart.
The engine pad has been verified and checked for authenticity and the VIN# and all is correct.The original owner is still alive along with the owner who restored the car and all the information goes to the new owner.
Thank You,
Jim"

This car interested me on several levels. Unusual color, L34, M20, 4.10, many options, but no console & buckets (i like that https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/cool.gif ). The fact that it is not cleaned up may allow this to be picked up for a reasonable price, provided it is as he says it is). I am not in the market, but thot someone here may be. It needs further investigation to be certain about its originality, documentation, etc., but would be killer with a full resto. Good luck!

P.S. don't you love the statement: "...this car is too nice to take apart." https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/smirk.gif

Yeah, wow, the "taking apart" consists of removing the top alternator mounting bolt, slipping off the belt, and then swinging the alternator back toward the pass side of the car. Pretty radical....better allow a couple days for all that work https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/tongue.gif
