Default my 1971 esprit

I was on my way to church about a month ago and saw a yellowish firebird and figured I would stop by and see what they wanted for her I called the number and a man picked up and started to tell me he needed 4k out of I asked if he would trade for a project 97 park Ave I had he said he would ask his wife over the next few days I drove by everyday to work and called almost every night finally on a Thursday 3 weeks ago his wife said yes. He hadn't driven it in years and the car had just 75k on the dash since then I've checked vins and found that to be a true 3 owner car I'm so proud to call it mine and work on it every weekend I've been offered 11 thousand and will not be selling this car will be mine till I'm a old man

I'd say nice silver backed mirrors, but what is with the back rear driver's side wheel on the Formula? Just angle of picture?

That's the data collection wheel they put on cars in the day during road tests. Probably belongs to 'Cars' or 'Car and Driver' ???
