Very cool! So no sport steering wheel. Did it get the rally gauges or just the warning lights? Power steering? SS II wheels or hubcaps?

only options on 'new H/O olds' was steering wheel and or air/ guages and tac were standard as was transmission (this is what I was told by original owner)

Hi, Sam got the number and will be calling Judy tomorrow. Thks again for the help. It just bugs me that I don't known what number my car is. Really doesn't make a difference, I still love the damn thing, It's just that with only 515 built, I am VERY curious as where my baby was in the production line. Will let you know when or if I find out. Thank-you again.

There are known cars that didn't get the gauges from the factory, and also didn't come with the SSII wheels. You can see some cars with steel wheels on them in the Demmer factory photos. Most cars have them though. Looking forward to seeing yours.

For Sam in Canada, I contacted Judy at HO/Club of America and got info I was looking for. My car was no# 256 and was assembled between May 25 and June 17. Now my baby has a birthdate and I am looking forward to maintaining, retaining or replacing it's needs. The car has moved from it's original home in San Francisco to the more sunny Los Angeles/Orange County and will have many warm, sunny days to bask in it's glory/history. Thanks, again Sam for your help
