The Sable brown with gold stripes remains elusive.
Paul, do you know if the gold striped car was also a 4spd?

I made up my own term/name for a car like this, and this is a PERFECT example. I'm thinking maybe I should copyright the name:
"DIME-STORE DUBYA"!!!

What are the obvious signs of a repro hood vs original?
