    Know this car, it was auctioned some years ago (2002), IMO this is not factory made, also the Vynil cover seems to be done to cover something in/on the roof.
    The roof itself looks like being sunken, it's #8452.

    What! Yet another blue Espada with some kind of a moon roof. It's an epidemic! ;>))

    I know a guy in upstate New York who has a pair of Espadas one a VIP model. He claims one has a sunroof as well.

    The only factory one I've heard of is the one most of us know about. That one's kind of funky too.

    The sun roof is bad enough but the vinyl roof covering is pure New Jersey, as in tacky. OMG what were they thinking? It chops up the flow of the body work. This bad guys, very bad. The color is very nice though!

    I'm not a big fan of the S3 wheels, but I definitely prefer the stock bolt ons compared to this modified KO conglomeration. I'm all for mods & being different, but they just don't look right.

    I bought Espada S1 #7446 out of LA about 9 years ago. It was owned by the son of Bob Crane, and he didn't take much care of it. There was rust and under carriage issues. I refurbished the brakes, interior, front suspension, windows and motors, fixed many oil leaks and cleaned the radiator. I drove it while I lived in Colorado sometimes but always had issues with coking the cylinders due to the altitude. I could never quite get the carb jets perfect. Since there were 12 jets, I just gave up after a while and lowered the float level slightly.

    They are not stop-light racers, but once you get them wound up, they would hold +100MPH quite easily. The Espada almost got me fired from my job once. It was a pleasant day, and I drove it to work. I parked next to a Mazda RX7 conv. Later, we had a meeting on the third floor overlooking the lot. My boss was crowing about his new 'sports car'. He opened the blinds and point to the Mazda, but all of the people in the room were looking at the bright red car next to it. I didn't want to speak up, but one of my co-workers mentioned that I drove it in. I had to explain that it was an Italian Lamborghini coupe, with a V12 engine and six carbs and four cams. My boss was not happy with me.

    I sold it about 3 months ago to a gent from Montana. It still needs paint.
