That is super cool.

It has a different fender tag.  I wonder if that tag is different because they assembled them to the owners specifics when it arrived overseas.

Cool car !

If it was partially assembled here and then sent over would there be a build sheet?

Would it be half of a build sheet?

Interesting car.

I wonder if there are any aftermarket parts?  The little button on the end of the directional stalk is different.  So is the pull handles for tilting the seat forward...  :dunno:

that car has been written about on here before. It belonged to a dutch guy and I even think it was sold new in the Netherlands, not 100% sure on that.
I`ll try to find the thread....

Did anyone notice that the console says "SHIFT GATE" and not "SLAPSTICK" ?

According to what I read on another site, early 70' E bodies had "Shift Gate."
It was changed later in the year to "Slap Stick"

VIN sequence is 176457. That would put it about October/November 1969?

VIN sequence doesn't validate the build date. Ask Barry T/A about this.

Then add in the factor of mix and match of parts like my car. A 71' cuda with a 70' console.
Get it? They did things strange back then. Whatever was there available.

Trust me. Shift Gate bezels did exist.
