If the car existed, I would guess no the guy who had this car didnt know what he had (and who knows what state he got it in). I dont know what kinda crash test stuff they did back in the 70's maybe none, but cars get built for testing all the time. If this car exists it might be such a car that was built to ultimately get destroyed. Another thought maybe if this car existed it was built late in the 1971 year and was going to be the poster car for 72? Dont forget about the yellow 71 T/A, has anyone prooven that; that car didnt exist??? (I think they did, not sure) Like I said there are many reasons if this car existed why its not public. You can what if the crap out of this situation, all I would like members to keep in mind is that stuff like this has happened before and not to rule it out.
