My ever-failing memory seems to recall a car exactly like this for sale in the NYC metro area about 20 yrs ago. But, I'm also thinking that car had a number of dings, dents, & scrapes on the exterior, possibly incurred as a result of use and abuse drag racing - either on the streets or at the track. That would go a long way toward explaining the uber-low mileage and the need for a complete engine rebuild. If this is that same car, it's had to have some paint work done. Also curious is the vast appearance difference in the door armrest bases.

That is the car I was thinking of Bill. May be a different but opted identically. The hard plastic usually yellows much more than the vinyl.

Steve/Bill - this rings a bell. I recall Big Bill wrestling with the ruff original paint and considering repainting the car. He didn’t bring it out to the Pavillions show because of the condition of the paint and unfortunately I did not get over to his house to see it.
