12-bolt rear date code is correct for the build date of the car.
D-9-9

Stamped assembly code KJ equates to a 3.55 open 12-bolt.

Dan was at my place today and took quite a few pics also.

Thanks for your time Dan to come out and look this over for me and to help set-up a space for me at VF.

Rick,

I am now green with envy. Very nice car. I'm sure you will enjoy it.

Do you still have the garnet red 300?

Congrats.

Phil Woj.

The speedo shows 67,000 and I believe it's real miles from everything I've seen on the car to this point.

Original (thick) disc brake rotors. Spring tag is still there but unreadable. Blue bleeder caps still on.

Nice car! Love the color combo. Stupid question for you post car guys... are those the original exterior door handles, and are they different for a coupe vs. a 2 door sedan? They look sorta odd to me, like they aim skyward a bit. Not sh*tpickin', just askin'! -JB

Yeah someone put some repop door handles on after a repaint around 1990.

Phil,
I still have the Garnet red 300. It's in resto mode, but I got side-tracked a little. A separate replacement frame for that one has been blasted and painted.
