Hi Wilma,

Thanks for the offer of memeber's ride feature. When I bought it years ago it was painted white with a brown stripe. I have it pretty much torn apart right now and will be painting it very soon. I have a friend that knows a bit about painting that will be helping me thru the process. I'll be assembling, if all goes well, by summer. The doors have the original yellow beige paint. My buddy will be color matching it. We're gonna shoot single stage and I don't want to clear it. I've kept every piece I replaced. Although, there weren't many I needed.

Hey Pete,

No....I don't believe it's a L89. The motor was standard when I got it with the original cast 291's. It's .030 over now and still shows the CKO and VIN. I'm very happy about that.

I think Helmut will enjoy it for years too.

Hi Bob,

It's not even close to being a beater. And it's not a frame off. It has never been removed from the frame. I'm the only person to have remove the motor and trans. The rear has never been removed to this day - 3.55 posi CKF.

Thanks fo all the input. I'm not gonna restore to anything near what most folks do. I'll be driving it, when I'm done, almost every weekend. I was just really curious how much it would be worth when I'm done and how many are still out there. So far and until someone steps up, I'm the only person with one. It may not be worth much, but I'm gonna enjoy it just that same. I do know it's worth more than I paid - $2,850 back on 10/31/1978 Halloween day.

Regards,
Al
