So far have found out that the Tim Fleming - Monarch Yellow 4 Speed

and has 2 Buildsheets with it.

BLACK with Saddle Interior - 4 Speed
i think the value/interest of the car is downplayed a LOT by the Yellow paint.

Very Very Few special order Black Cars in 1972, at all.
Its practically the cream of the WW5 crop , fellows.
90k in the car with a full frame-off resto
All matching # drivetrain as well.

When my step father purchased the car in 1974 it had been painted yellow. I tracked the car down through several owners and bought it back, had it beautifully restored to stock condition and decided to go with the yellow he had known (monarch yellow). I struggled with the decision to not go with the ordered, black color, but the restoration was with him in mind.

Also on the trail of another Sundance Orange 4 Speed with Matching # Drivetrain
that was in mid-frame-off-resto in Sep 2012 with a good stash of NOS parts for the resto. Owner was in NY
