BTW; I wonder how much battery acid has seeped into the metal, along with sitting in the PNW climate.

LOL! Lived in WA all my life and never heard of "Beaver." Definitely an appropriate location near that lake... LOL!

I was told it was, but I am no early SD expert.

I know a couple of people with them. Cool cars. Unless the value of them crapped out I'd say one in that stellar condition for that price is dirt cheap. But that price also leads me to believe it may be a clone.

Two things that raise suspicion for me:

Would anybody buy an impractical Super Duty back in the day and and end up street driving it enough to put over 50,000 miles on it? (the ad copy lists an incorrect 34K when it shows 54K.....typo?)

What performance enthusiast would order a dual-quad SD and not get at least a 3-series rear axle ratio? I have a hard time believing a dealer inventoried SD would be ordered with 2:73 gears either. Seems like the factory would discourage that, if they even allowed it at all.

Then again, if the seller can botch up the odometer reading like that, maybe the rear axle is actually a more realistic 3:73.

I'd like to know why the top of the cowl is white in one photo and black in another.

Also..... A Ventura interior in a SD?????

This is either going to be a cheap SD or a nice but expensive Cat.

If you read the ad text it says it has an SD intake and dual quads. Nowhere do they say it is a real SD car.

I believe it's a clone. You can see the first part of the VIN tag in the one picture, and it doesn't match up with any of the cars on the list in Pete McCarthy's book.

After re-reading it now, I realize that.
True, they don't say it's a real SD car but the phrase 'Super duty' is hap hazardly inserted in two other places. Once, all by itself, so it tricks the mind into reflexively thinking it's a true SD.

Maybe its like Mopars with "Hemi" 4speeds.

Like I said, top-notch car but its looking like a way over-priced Cat.
