Re: X77 25K Miles
Why does this car have blue overspray all over the gas tank and rubber strips under the gas tank straps??

Re: X77 25K Miles
The tank straps were installed and hanging on the bodies as they went through the paint booth at the Norwood facility. Both of my 1972 Firebirds had original overspray on the straps.
The tanks were installed later and should not have overspray. Looks like someone painted that tank later. The paint line ends at the tank seam, all the way around.

Re: X77 25K Miles
I know the car. The Sports Car 200's have been gone for a while. It was consigned at Memory Lane Motors for several months over the last winter and it came in wearing 225/70/15 redlines (!?) so the owner there ponied up for TA's to at least make it look like a Z/28. Consignor worked a trade after a while with the owner of another dealership (Chaplins) who either traded it to Kompact or gave it a new venue.
Not a bad car at all, but not what you hope a 25K mile car to be, either. Paint is OK, but we looked it over for a while and couldn't get a handle on what paint was original and what was spotted in, other than it was blended well and they didn't make any overspray messes up on top. I'd respray it if it was mine, and I'm a purist who can live with a lot of patina. I don't think it was every rusty or wrecked, I'm just not confident that there's enough original paint to be too precious about it. And its straight and solid enough to cry out for a LeMans blue paint job that really "pops", esp with the lack of trim (X77) and the blue interior.
