I think with the engine off, the gauge doesn't read accurately?
(no key in ignition)

Optioned about as nicely as you could ask for with Blue/Blue deluxe, 4 speed, and no air. It's a very early built '71, would be interesting to see if the wheels are KN's or a mix, assuming the are the originals.

Believe I looked at this car before I bought my 72 TA. Will look for the phs when I get home. If it's the same car it was a low option car that's had a lot of extras added, including the deluxe interior.

Not the same car I looked at in 2013. The other one was a very early norwood car that has been in California for many years that looked identical to this one. I'd be proud to drive it.

The wheels on it are later style... (i.e. not JW/KR/KN)

thanks Keith, I'm still not good at catching the difference in the JW-KN-KR's and the later 15" when the trim rings are on.

I thought they were.....the way the slots and spokes are positioned in relation to the trim ring.

Extremely nice original doorpanels would even be better. 10 years ago, PUI's are all that was out there, and that fits with the timeline of the restoration. Details, details, details, expensive to source correct wheels, fan shroud, alternator, master cylinder. No note of original 1267...
