Location: Parts Unknown | Something does not add up in the trim vs. description department. The Forward Look darts on the fin were Silver Special only. If the car was a plain Plaza, it got the Plaza script. Yet, oddly, the car show no sign of the other usual Silver Special trim. I am no expert on the Silver Specials, but my observations of surviving cars is they always got the unique side sweep trim, but the fender rub strips and side sweep anodized inserts are not always present. The darts on the fin are ALWAYS there. Either this is a mix-n-match home brew build, or it is a very unusual factory car. V-8 and 3-onda-tree, .... otherwise looks like a stripper. I would have purposely not dressed up the door panels and rolled it around on blackwalls with dog dishies to highlight the fact that this one is from the bottom of the barrel. Make it stand out from the monotonous fancy models. If the work was done right, they have more into it than the asking price. | ||

Location: The Mile High City | Doc, my guess is mix-and-match on this one, but you never know! I'll also bet they have more into it than it is worth, such is the danger with our hobby! -the seller has very good images of the car overall - except for the headliner. I am curious if there is a headliner in the car or not! There does not appear to be a dome light, which is odd.

The interior is terrible in my opinion. Black vinyl. Sure. Call 911 now. I'll be melting the skin off my thighs after parking it out side in the summer. LOL. | ||

Here is the thread when I sold her originally: http://forwardlook.net/forums/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=39782&post... She's had a lot of work done since in my care, and I am happy to see she retains the no-trim look! Pete (Jan16,2012d.jpg) Attachments ---------------- Jan16,2012d.jpg (202KB - 139 downloads) | ||

Elite Veteran Posts: 1172 Location: Georgia | A few comparison photos. Looks like she's got the same battery! Also note the bump on the lower left side of the front bumper.

Elite Veteran Posts: 1172 Location: Georgia | The interior was mostly original, the seats had been recovered a long time ago and were in need of recovering again. I had 2-toned the steering wheel to match the color scheme of the interior.
