History: Sold new in Tuscon Arizona the car has never left the `desert state` and has travelled only 65,000mls since `73. This is a genuine rare 3.0l 5Sp. version and all three owners have looked after the car with regular servicing , it has never had any body damage.
Since arriving in Australia the engine has been removed and the timing chain etc. replaced and the body stripped and repainted the attractive Kashmir beige, as the `shinney` paint in the pictures from the USA had suffered in the desert sun and was cracked.
The car is featured in the Current Projects #18 pages of this website. It will be ready for sale in Jan 2006. The new owner had the 'sporty' USA built engine replaced with a new SM Australia 'updated' stock 3.0L engine and prepared to the best 'Show' standards then drove it back to Adelaide.without incident, after pick-up to run it in!
