Great score Dave, I'll bet you were chewing nails through the entire auctions. For some reason, out of all the 1st gens, Spark Yellow SAs have become my favorite.

 

Last time I checked, the wrecking yard close to my house had 2 79s. I am pretty sure one had the original radio and uncut bezel. Will try to swing by tomorrow and take a look if you need it still.

Great find

 

Believe me I would appreciate any help on early parts. The goal is to keep it stock. And i promise to bring it out and let it visit others as well. The early SA parts are getting very hard to find in good shape, Hey any of our Aussie brothers are the replacement door panels from Rare spares top notch or are there better sources you know of.

 

What a beauty! I'm green with envy.

 

let me know if i can help you with some parts. i have tons and tons of parts. that sir is an excellent find! i am one for rare 7's. i own an 80 leather sport in solor gold (1 of 500 made) and an 88 10th anniversary edition. low vin cars are amazing and rare. definatly post more pics when you get the car. do you have any idea of how many owners the car has had or if it comes with the widow sticker?

 

I saw one SA at Mowry PnP and I think the radio was original.

 

wow that is amazing! way awesome find!

 

i need a shifter surround and boot for an SA if you're swinging by.

 

3 previous owners (1 by default she got it in the divorce but took really good care of it ) I don't know what all papers come with it yet they are sending everything they have on it though

 

Holy crap,
Dejavu!!!???!!!Looks like mine when I originally bought it....I believe I have some 79 parts at the house like emissions, thermal reactor, tubes and all that crazy bulky stuff.

As far as the passenger mirror, the original owner told me he ordered it as an option since it didn't come with it.

Mine was a 4 speed, non sunroof, non a/c car.

Unfortunately, my vin is 522,822 10/78 date (I know it by heart) but the hood prop is on the passenger side.

 

Hey Jerry one of the reason I been trying to get ahold of you is because of this car call when you get a chance

 

i just relpaced my shifter boot/surround, it was still available new.

 

How much did you pay for it though?

 

Picture of the correct style door panel for those who have not seen the early style.

 

Did you recover those or are they in that good condition? They look great, and mine, well, don't!

 

That's the original panel.

 

Nice find Dave let me know what parts you still need as I see you are getting alot of help allready..
BTW Doc do you have anything for this new toy of his????? if so please PM Dave a list of what you might still have ....

Dan
