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.
