IIRC,  the rivets should have some sealer over them....some more than others....some with fingerprints.

I kinda like it...not much actual use, but has a "Le Mans" look to it.

Is there one? I have a NOS and am selling it. It's at a friends house and I'm nowhere close. If so, where would it be? I found nothing in the "search" box that helped.
Thank you in advance.

Bullit-agreed here as well. The 10 10 raises a flag for me.

Rocco,
You're one of the few I now know who did research  BEFORE deciding whether or not to buy the car. Good for you. Which is worse? Hurt feelings or bank account? 🤔🤔🤔 At least you have experience now. I am curious about the car and what red flagged it.

The term “Matching numbers” (as far back as 1979 or so when i first heard it) means the engine/trans stamped numbers match the car VIN.
Rocco, did someone get their feelings hurt?

Since you asked, there is no “Spirit” for this. There is only fact.
Matching numbers=What the car was equipped with as it rolled off the assembly line. The closest thing to that is a documented part replaced under warranty.
A restamp is a restamp.

I’m wondering like my friends why the vacuum port design was changed. Of all the things we wish were cosmetically correctly when reproduced, why this wasn’t. I also posted pictures also on Team C.
It was damaged, so I cut it open. There is a rubber diaphragm sandwiched between the plates at the bottom.
