which raises the question: "Why?"

Why as in why "restore" something so nice?

They are only original once and once "restored" they lack any trace to originality, it could be ANY car once "restored"

IMHO. YMMV, etc

"Other than being repainted in the 1980's, it is the most original GT known"

The repaint in the 80's was not the original color...

I sure am curious to see how it used to look. Could we see just one vintage pic?

I do believe I see a 'diamond-tucked' interior in those photos.

Very ominous. Like the aerial shots! I do concur with Jim's comment now that I appreciate that this car was original except for the repaint.

i hope i get to meet many of you in person at the event. it will make my wife feel better to know that i dont have so many imaginery friends.

i am very appreciative that the yenko.net site exists and i wouldnt have found the car otherwise.

this is my dream car and the idea of premiering it at the MCACN in the company of so many other radical musclecars is overwhelming.

i have several intentions for the car which why i chose to have it restored. i am happy to discuss further if you wish to contact me.

Adam
