Checked the vin in the registry, according to build date (10/72) this may well be one of the few legitimate JPS (#3) specials out there.

"beautiful black paint cost of $14,000,"!
So, not to be driven in public.
Or on the track.
Basically, not to be driven.  :WTF:
So the choice of F.I. or carbs is moot.

Being this close to completion it makes no sense to not just finish assembly.
Might have to wait a few more years for values to catch up with paint cost.  ;)

This would be a treat to buy and build. The work has been finished it just needs assembly. Too bad its on the other side of the country.

they goofed on the pin stripe in front nose..... unless they are not going to install the chrome bumper as it's going to hide/cover the bottom part.     Thankfully mine was actual "tape" pinstripe as my previous owner did the same (no bumper installed) so when i went back to original with bumper, i had to pull and re-tape the bottom edge above the bumper line.
