Really excited for Paul to “debut” this car. He has spent years pouring his energy and cash in to the car. This will be a big moment for him.

I'm not going to be able to make it. If someone could post pictures, I would really appreciate it. I've seen two of these cars, Rick Hendrick had one in his private museum in Charlotte years ago and the Welburn Muscal Car Museum in Alexander City, Al has one. The two that I've seen are almost identical. Both are red with parchment interior and a white top. Fully loaded.

I had the privilege of driving a 1971 W30 4sp ragtop in Nordic blue that a friend of mine had many years ago. Very special cars!

I know this is an old post, but did this car ever sell?

I don't think you could get A/C on a W30 with a 4 spd. And a Dual Gate is an automatic shifter.

From the pictures, this was an automatic floor shift without A/C. This is a beautiful car.

I saw it in person at the GMO "Dust Off" in Shrewsbury MA last May, it's an amazing car! Sorry, no interior shots.

The above picture from post #10 is not the car from this thread.
The "Maine Attraction" is an automatic with parchment interior.

Thanks for the pictures. I have been following this car since the 2013 magazine article was published.

No sweat, I looked it over pretty well when I saw it, just didn’t take many photos for some reason.
