SV with Softtop flaps - Hmm. But I like the LAT wheels...

I assumed when a car was issued a CA state ID# they removed the original VIN plate and replaced it with a state plate?

It must have been a real enthusiast who owned it back before 1990. I don't think I've ever seen someone retrofit early softtop panels onto a SV. And the LAT hood, the faux LAT wheels, added backup lights, full gauges, including a IV/V temp gauge....

Yeah those look different on the wheels. Plus it owes 433 in back fees to the DMV. I wanted to look at the car but it was a couple hours round trip.
Typically Calunicornia wants two ID numbers and possibly the motor number was different. Can someone please copy the pictures I'm in a slow ISP area.

Interesting carand looks pretty much rust free, but non running. What makes this a 7K car ?

 

[RootesRooter]

The state may not have known about the VIN on the block and chose the SAL as the 2nd number.

The title lists a CA ID and not the Alpine VIN nor the SAL number. It's likely there's a door jamb CA ID. There's a 15% buyer's premium plus sales tax so more like an 8000 dollar car.

Car also has a GT wood rim.steering wheel..this was definitely an enthusiast car with all the choice bits

I still wonder what an LAT hood does on an Alpine

Keeps the valve gear cool

At least a NoGo for me. Is that a club sticker on the windscreen?

 

[Aladin Sane]

It sure looks like a club sticker. Had not noticed it before.

might clear the air cleaner on my v6?

 

[RootesRooter]

Probably a SAOC decal. It doesn't look like either of my old Bay-area Sunbeam Alpine Club decals.

Can't make out the passenger side decal at all

That's a nice car. Too bad. And that LAT hood fits way better than mine. Wish I saw this before.
