Like the other post said, something is not right with the VIN and the Cowl tag. Your VIN is for a 3A build and your tag says 9A. I would have to say either the VIN or tag was swapped out at one time. OR someone welded a new part of the firewall from another car. It is highly unlikely that this body sat around VanNuys plant waiting for the other components, [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/no.gif[/img] Take some pics of the cowl tag and VIN and post them

BU is not a JL8 4 wheel disc rear, it's a drum rear that was converted to rear discs. The date is off and I'll assume it should be something like 0225 and that would fit in the time frame for your car.

Default JL-8 For Sale

I have a friend that will be listing a JL-8 car for sale on ebay tonight, when he lists the car I will get the item #. The car is an X33D80 car in Fathom Green. Price is $30,000 firm and the car does NOT have the original motor in it, however it is being tracked down.
Feel free to email me, [email protected], or PM me with questions.
I had to resize the pics to post them, I can email non-downsized pics for better detail.
I wanted to post this in the FOR SALE section, but I can't start a new topic there.

Ok now how many Fathom Green JL-8's did they make? Fred where is this car from/located now. Could this be the one I saw in and Elgin classic car dealer circa 1980? Just curious.

Here is the link to the car. There is nothing in the auction about the engine.
