    Pretty neat/unusual car - Appears to be a factory 350 Hi-Comp. engine & has factory gauges & disk brakes.

    If one was to paint the car, why not do it correctly? It was a PAINTED roof car, not a vinyl top car... ughhhhhh

    Will be interesting to see what the high bid ends up being.

    It says "two tone paint" on the invoice but I thought that was a more expensive option - I could wrong but the price looks more in line w/a vinyl top. Would be nice to see a trim tag pic.

    I always thought painted top would be less money because of the labor involved in installing a vinyl top. It may be a wash because more time required to smooth the sheet metal joints. They should have left the top painted imo. Nice looking car, though. I'd probably change the color.

    Custom vinyl roof covering cost $102.16, painted top cost less.

    Well I was certainly wrong there. I thought opposite - Maybe at one point I correcrly knew this, but I guess becuse of the masking, seemingly having to run it through the paint shop 2x, plus the cost of paint vs . vinyl material and the relative # of cars that rec'd each option I thought paint would be more. Sure is a shame that so many of these cars came with vinyl & were ruined as a result when the painted top was less expensive.

    I always heard that the reason all Superbirds had vinyl tops was because it was cheaper to put a vinyl top on them than it was to finish the roof to the quality needed to paint it.

    Is the remote mirror control installed backwards? It looks funny to me.

    Good catch - I know of a 3-sp. & 4-sp. manual GS that came that way but never seen an automatic.
