Does happen here. When I moved one guy was in the middle of restoring his to the
same color. When I was at his house all his neighours thought his car was
finished and kept giving thumbs up......
Easy to spot the differences when you know, as mine has the '76 wheels and
luggage rack plus minor differences as his is a 78 body . But it's cool when
they
are together.
