OK, it's been a while since there's been an update, and there is some fun news to report coming up... but before that, I've got to post some 'new' pictures of Adrian.
These pics are circa 1987. I have a funny feeling these are the 'hiding in plain sight' pictures of Adrian, half buried in the dirt at a car shop on the side of hwy US-69 two miles outside of Emory TX, that many PY members here remember seeing her, not knowing she was a One of One Adriatic Blue custom white/blue interior 4spd TA.
In fact, I think at least one member is going to throw up a little in his mouth... again... when he sees this photo, because she's probably sitting exactly as she was when he pulled a trailer to come by and purchase her, but when she wouldn't start, and he questioned the code 24 paint and the blue/white interior that wasn't normal for a TA.... he passed
. Back then... who knew?
Thanks to Alan Pound at A&R Classics restorations in Emory TX for sharing these photos. I have to say, discovering the history and back story of Adrian has been equally, if not more fun and satisfying as the restoration itself.
