He told me that he traded it in when he moved out east. So, probably unknown if the car is still around. I provide a picture of it here, just in case someone can benefit. He also has all of the brochures that he picked up when buying the car.

Drove my car to the coffee shop and a man approached me saying that he bought one new in 1969. This is a photo of the window sticker he showed to me.

Steve,

Here is a recent photo:

Also, if you plan to play with it a bit, use an 8-10 ohm speaker.  The 4 ohm speakers commonly available will draw too much current and ruin your output transistor.

I'm not trying to start a flame war here.

I live in Seattle, and have ordered from Ricks for years.  It always bothered me that when I input my zip code, then entered parts, the shipping was very expensive.  And I understand that, it's a long way.

But, I just ordered a couple things a few weeks ago, and the shipping was very quick, and a much cheeper.  I got the parts right away and the shipping charges were < 20% of the total price of the parts.  It usually costs me an additional 30 - 50% for shipping.

Examples:
Before Ecklers - $157 worth of brake components cost $62 to ship.
After Ecklers - $105 worth of brake parts cost $17 to ship.

And, they came in a few days, not 5-6 business days like before.

Yes, I know that they wern't the exact parts, and this wasn't a scientific experiment where the same parts were ordered before and after. 

But I'm very happy with Ricks, they have the most correct parts, and best technical support of any place I have ordered from.

Just my 2 cents.  By the way, I work in the marine industry and have no affiliation with Ricks or Ecklers.

Thanks ccargo,

I'll add the info to my file for the car.

I just pulled the rear end on my 01D SS-350.

Getting new bearings, seals, clutches, etc.

When I look at the stamping  QK 0103 G  (next line E) it doesn't appear to be perfectly lined up.

Does this look legitimate to you guys?  I haven't looked at a lot of these

Thanks for any input.

Dave

Doug,

I was on the old forum as offrapel, and on the new forum as offrapel too.

Thanks,

Dave
