It is REALLY an early car, it is advertised as a 1979! The vin is not all there so it is impossible to know just what it is. I would be skeptical of how early it is, since it is an automatic and they were almost non-existant among the very early cars. It is also a grey interior and most of the very early cars were black. Any buyer must be prepared to spend over $20K in parts alone since it is a "sleeper" and hasn't been run in many years so every system will need to be gone over. At least it looks like it is complete and was kept indoors but the pictures are not good enough to be sure of that. It may just have been cleaned up well. BHCC is going to buy it and resell it for $30,000. Whatever it is, it is an early car, it has a gas flap and the straight tail pipes.

Interesting since it was supposed to have used for crash testing. And fairly driven too.

No vin tag in the door. Stitched binnacle. Lack of striker guides in the doors. Looks legitimate. 531 Could be the very first automatic D.
Curious there are no gear selector marks on the shifter.

Wow! I hope someone who realizes what it is, and will restore it correctly buys it.
