Could have been a dealer trade. Pretty common occurrence.

The handwritten 'options' on the invoice are interesting. Hard to read but looks like:

P.D.I. $150.00
Headlamps - xxxxxx $90.00
Suspension, spacers, track, long studs $120.00
Special engine xxxxx xx xxxxx xxxx $40.00
7" rims $260.00
Painted headlamp rings $39.00

Attachment 248628

Also, I guess I forgot this little factoid but Sport Seats were standard equipment for an S in 1971, correct?

Correct, sport seats were standard on the '71S. Cool document to have with this car. The handwritten additonal options are especially interesting. Any idea what 'P.D.I.' is?

$150 for a P.D.I.? in 1971 dollars that borders on buggery as it would be approximately $865 in todays dollars. Another reference is that a Rolex Stainless Date-Just or Milgauss Rolex were about $250)

Bidding is now at $40,100 ! Of course I always think rusty cars like this are WAY overpriced. Unless, of course it's me who is selling (actually I never sold a rust bucket like this) And this one has been molested and is incomplete ta'boot! Thanks,

A gold 2.2S would sure be sweet.

It will be gorgeous when complete...

"When complete" restoration cost estimates please? Time and money? Mine: Two years; $50,000+

Here is one of my favorites. I wonder if it ever got restored. Im' not sure but I think it sold for around $20k. It was about three years ago, did the market make it look like a great buy? Thanks.

The all time restoration (remanufacture/recreation) award ,most certainly would go to the RHD 71? S that was not much more than a roof, vin plate and A columns. These Ebay cars look like a day at the beach in comparison. It was kind of like, "Sir Hillary, why did you climb K2?" (Google answer)

I went back and looked at the auction one more time. Being on the Chesapeake Bay is not the greatest place on earth to store anything. If you did a history of major storms to hit the region I'll wager this "thing" has been in some "real water" over the past 23 years.

Gloria is a bit early but the rest are pretty much a guarantee.

"Heavy Weather" warning to any sailor venturing into this one.
