I bought mine this year. I'm trying to determine when it was built. At first I was thinking 1999-2000 but as I work on it I'm realizing the components are quite a bit older than that. Either the builder used 1979-80 parts or the car is 30 years old!

Anyway I've already rebuilt the front end, struts, control arms, brakes, rotors, replaced the radiator, all the hoses, the carb and now I'm on to the rear end. I just dropped the axle and am replacing all the control arms, bushings, brakes... By the time I'm done it will basically be a new car - except for the engine and transmission.

The price was right and it is sporting an original -but rebuilt - 1968 427 SO and 4-speed cobrajet top loader trans. Engine now has alumnium Edelbrock heads but I have no idea what's under them.

Does anyone know how I can find out when it was built? The tag number is LA Exotics 80750. Thanks

Don
