Default even more

As far as I can determine:
never in an accident
mileage is ~112,000

I have a list of all of the owners

In Oklahoma from new until 1988 when sold to Howie from NJ - he never drove in the rain or winter per our conversation - brought it to FL ~2011

I bought it in 2013

Paint is lacquer likely in 1982

Clean blue Florida

title

Only known C1 that NCRS judges had seen with a "flaw" in the VIN tag - has a space that shouldn't be there - but it's a 100% good tag

I have some very hard to find books including an original factory AIM - likely an engineer's desk copy

Just taken of the under carriage. It's too close to the ceiling to open the hood and I've got stuff underneath it so I can't take it down to the floor. Working on getting the space reorg'd but it'll be a day or two. The engine is the original 283/270HP virtually all original or correct replacement such as the radiator.

John, does it have a heater? It looks like it has the switch button, but I know they were an option in 61.

That is a heck of a car, especially for the price. GLWS.

I has a heater and radio. Deletes for these weren't common for the typical buyer.

Right now we're focused on our house getting finished from Ian. The northern visitors will be here next month and I'm going to do large shows and sell it then. The local are how the guys from my C1 breakfast group sold 3 cars and didn't even have a for sale sign.
