This US version car was manufactured on July 24th, 1970 and delivered on August 25th, 1970 to a company named J.B.S. in Frankfurt/Main, probably for delivery to a US citizen temporarily living in Germany. The original colour was Chamonix, paint code 085. It was sold on the Big Island of Hawaii and shipped to Maui where it remained largely undriven by its owner for three years because of poor running and the discovery of moderate rust typical of these cars. It will be taken apart enough to allow for rust repair and repaint.
The Interior is complete, wood, vinyl seats and headliner all intact. There is rust in the right floorboard and rocker panel and a few spots at the bottom edge of both doors. It now runs well after replacement of the points with a solid state unit. The Zenith carbs were cleaned and reinstalled. It has a numbers matching engine. The slightly noisy ZF 4 speed transmission will be replaced with a rebuilt 5 speed Getrag. I've been collecting parts and am about to begin restoration. It will remain as stock as possible, except for a 5 speed upgrade and the addition of AC.
