David - what do you mean by "Back in the day when having the correct chassis number for the build did not matter much."? I was not aware that there was a correct chassis number for RSR conversion!
Who's is the dealer for the blue Rgruppe?

Smallest attention to detail including the F250 ride height - :rolleyes:
Yeah. My car is crazy low in comparison but that is easily fixed.Quote:

Of course that is just my personal preference, whatever floats your boat.
Dick Barbour is a standup guy, and one of the best of his era.
Technically it's not a backdate if the chassis is longhood which is what I have i.e. 73T with 3.2 engine but I know what you mean ... Bitsa (bits from various years) might be a more appropriate term.Quote:

My preference too all things considered. It's why my '74 is "stock" looking but....;)Quote:

Going to take my lab for a walk this afternoon, see what I can see.;) For what it's worth, I've never seen the car out and about. I asked a couple of simple questions but, no answers. He might be freaked because I'm so close. Looked like a great opportunity to get into a running car with minimal "in".
From what I can see, its a garage resto with a lot of it being paint and undercoating over original undercoating and plating. If anyone is truly interested in pursuing, PM me. Would be happy to help with impressions, details.
