Holy cow. This car was just purchased from my buddy here in the STL area. Can't believe it is going to a Mecum auction. I kept checking CL expecting to see it appear locally. I know this car well and have worked on it a bit, as well as hauled it to MWB for some service a couple years back.

Just FYI. I notice the description is bare minimum and so are the pictures. Don't get all excited on this one without asking for detailed pics. The car ran pretty well, but is a midwest car in condition. It was long term owned from new by someone in the STL area before my buddy bought it.

Love the color, love the stripes. Proper X1/9. Love it.

So what was the sale price at this time Jim ? I think I might bid on this.

I had this same paint and interior on my first X. 1975 Loved it! Still miss it.

Anyone know what the vin number is? Still looking for my old friend a '76 with color #299 sunset orange vin 128AS00482288

Also for those of you who know the car is this the original paint?

The paint is a mixture of original and close to original touch up. If you zoom in on this picture you can see the VIN. 128AS0053517

Thanks Jim, I didn't see this pic. Are there other pictures or threads of this car on the forum?

 

[JimD]

That picture came from this thread where I was asking advice on how to straighten the strut tower top plates on this car. If you bid, please bid with open eyes. The car runs and drives, but has "midwest life" issues as well.

Front trunk and cowl look good. It'll be interesting to see if the new buyer shows up here. As a sunset orange owner, I like it. Here's mine the day I acquired from Chris Saul.
