check out this original 1600

[BLUNT]

this belongs to Chris Orr locally. He runs Orr autosport and is the guy who bought the 69 granada CJ was good enough to go check out in the bay area last month. Chris is a lurker here but now owns a few 02's so i hope he will be popping in more. Orr autosprt had a tech session at the shop this morning and chris has his 1600 sitting in the showroom. 40k original miles and never been dicked with. a real time capsule right down to the dimpled beltline on the hood.

I'm speechless.............. What a beauty!

Looks darker than Bristol. What is the color? Derby?

i wanna say derby but chris was too busy and i didnt ask him to open the hood. maybe he will jump on and tell us. im not all that knowledgeable on the early colors. i just know i love the color. so utilitarian looking

[m-racer]

That is really something. I'm with Harry on the color.

Wow - that's a very nice looking car. Did you get a peek under the hood?

The detail on these cars is really something.

Steve, take a look at the door latches, the bits in the trunk, the dash board bits inside rear view mirror and the outside mirror are unique to that car, the knobs handles. As you see the embossed trim on the hood and trunk.

It is a great little car. I would love to look over that one.

[HarryPR]

Steve, try to convince him to bring it to V@theV!

I'm sure it would be the star of the event.

i didnt. there was a lot going on this morning and i didnt even want to touch it without chris right there. i recall seeing this car a couple years ago when stopping in there but i didnt know chris at that time. if memory serves me the underhood is perfect too.

The center knidney looks to be totally diffrent.

The shape is entirely diffrent too.

Very nice car with good details, no one has mentioned the sunroof, but I would say, like all cars, it has had work done, note the front euro bumper over-riders whilst the rear has the large ones, not a correct match.

DAAAAYYYYMMMMM!!!!

That's one sweet ride.
