Cool car BTW, where is it now days? Dmoore, not all LA tags look that way, some have the more traditional fonts, there seems to be no real transition date either as I've seen both styles from the same SPD week in both directions. I'm guessing they had two tag machines pumping out tags each with different fonts at the same time.

Executive production like my hemicuda. Here is the only pic I could find... it had power steering, tuff wheel, rubber floor mat, and tinted glass. 7397681-71duster3402.JPG (99 downloads)

Yes Sorry to jump in but this is really interesting Did that FJ6 car have the A pillar (paint border) trim? I would think a decal V24) without the orgonasol would be a dealer added item?

If I remember correclty that car had also been hit in the front hard enough to kink the frame... the grille was in mint condition and far better than the rest of the car, The XX interior was black and white houndstooth cloth.

ScottSmith_Harms OP Mr Wizzard Joined: Jan 2003 Posts: 42,714 Spokane Washington	Jason, was the yellow car GY3 or FY1? Hard to tell from the pic? Maybe it's neither due to the re-paint? On the outside my car will look VERY similar, remove the V24 and the bumper gaurds and that's what mine looked like. Do you know the current whereabouts of the yellow one?
