Not a bad car - it has a lot of the same stuff as a 74.5 'B
roadster, but under 700 were made. It might not seem like a great
buy, but it will probably become a minor classic in a couple of
years. Of course, real afficinados will like the car, and if you
fix it up to show quality, you could conceivably win any
rubber-bumper GT class you entered (just because there aren't many
around.) Either way, a fun car. I always like the way the rubber
lips looked on the Gut's. They fit the car very well and gave it a
unique personality.
