not a bad idea if you are restoring the LE for you and not to sell

Thanks Pete, never saw one that up close before. What are the dimensions to it? Looks like al-loo-mini-um as the british would say.

Anytime guys I'm just surprised that many of us haven't seen this plaque before. Next time I'm working on the car, I'll have to measure it and report back. I didn't look too closely at it, but I think it might be brass. Haven't decided yet if I want to leave it on the dash or remove it and keep it in a safe spot.

Hey Fish, I've saw the pictures you posted before, that is one of the all around cleanest 1st Gen's I've seen. Nice ride! Are your seats recovered or are they exceptionally well preserved? I'm trying to find the best example I can to duplicate from.

Wink It’s Original

The interior is original the seats have never been reupholstered.
I may have a crappy camera but the interior is a bluish gray for the limited edition.
Mr. Vermillion, I am in Medina come look at it if you want!
