    cool....
    must be #03276...
    does the "76" on the number plate mean: registered to Barber in 1976?

    Yes, the "76" refers to the year the license plate was issued. Whether it is the original plate, however, is unknown. Perhaps someone who knows the history of the car could chime in?

    I was there the Grand Opening day of that museum.

    That Dino is striking and had a bit to do with me deciding to buying mine.

    Respectfully, at least when I saw it, it wasn't pristine.

    There was overspray on th rubber, rubber was a bit dry etc.

    Maybe they restored it.

    Other cars in this range were delivered in 1972.

    Alabama has different registration systems.

    Alabama is a state known for more "liberal" registration policies.

    It is a 1972.
    Mr. Barber personal car, during the time. Purchased new (1-owner).
    Alabama went to stickers around 1976, prior you changed plates (as most other places)
    Last Road registered in 1990
    Car is original, no accidents, paint work, or restoration
    Has around 15,000 miles

    thanks, so Mr Barber is the first and only owner, correct?
