    Emilio,

    I think he was asking about those ugly red things that were on the car for years.

    Those are not correct, the black ones are.

    Many car factories do this so during assembly they don't confuse front and rear springs.

    The fronts have a paint splash on them as well of a different color.

    Correct, and after I bought this car I had them removed. They were electric CHrysler mirriors a previous owner had installed. I placed the car back to as close as OEM as I could..it also had a full re-paint.

    I then took it to Monterrey and sold it at Russo and Steel Auction for NO RESERVE..many people did not believe I would let it go..but I did..it went to a person with a German accent in Georgia somewhere if I recall correctly. Hammer price was $84,000..a steal of a deal..no idea where it is today.

    The Bianco/Rosso color combination is very nice.

    This car is is need of total recommissioning, having stood for the best part of 20 years. Additionally, last we spoke to the owner he thought $250,000 was in line with market.

    And your observations are just from pictures.

    Sharp eyes Tony.

    A close inspection will make your list very long.

    If the price were right it would make a fun project.

    well, if the owner is looking for 250k $ ....better to look somewhere else

    the car itself looks in need of some worck, but pretty original (correct wing, correct dash material, correct distributors, proper badging, campagnolo rims...even the radio looks the right one!)

    it also miss one reflector on the rear lights ;)
