IIRC......the list only had 14 cars on it with only one of them having the tach and guage package. That car is the one we still own. It also came with the formula wheel with the wings down bird horn button.
Your t/a sounds like a 1 of 1. Wow, congratulations! Although not a popular choice back in the day, there's gotta be a significance of the 3spds because of the rarity.
I'm trying to authenticate my gearbox, and can't find a vin# on it. Only a riveted tag with"RAT E1 054569". I'm curious if yours has a similar tag, or a vin# stamped on the case.
Thank you. Appreciate any info you may have.
