Like I said, the polyethylene valance was pulled and "repaired" by a prior owner several years ago so it probably lost that the black plastic air deflector then. The nose was also partially repainted at that time to repair a scratch in the "beak". It was a really neat car, just not worth the price they are asking now. I dont know how much of the original paint remains since it had some prior paint repairs in its history. But it is a nice car nonetheless.

If you have no holes drilled out your car did not come with the air dam or lower black spoiler OR the radiator support has been changed. I think you'd know if that was the case. My cars has them however theyre both late June cars.

The core support appears to be an original. It has the original emissions decal and numbers stamped on it too. I think more likely than not it may have been an item added after a certain date if it wasn't AC related, although I've never found any evidence either way in my assembly manual.

Air had nothing to do with the baffle. It was to help flow across the heat exchanger aka radiator. Bottom line if your car didnt have the holes it never had the baffle or lower black spoiler to begin with.

Your right john good eye. There is plenty of black stuff smeared all over the back that is not factory! Gas tank looks terrible, plenty of touched up items to be call unmolested! I think i prefer restored cars! Not many originals left!

That car is too nice looking to be an untouched survivor with 51K mile's. The rubber filler panel betwwen the front header and front bumper always goes on those cars and his looks perfect and is painted to match.I have 48K on my formula and mine has been replaced and not repainted.

Looks like the same car Steve restored and showed at the POCI last year. It was delivered to a customer in Illinois shortly after the show. Surprised its already being flipped but interested in seeing what it brings.
