Hello from Utah!

Hi everybody! I have what I believe to be a 1985 (5/85 build) SSP from Utah. I have had the car for almost 10 yrs., it has been sitting for the past 8.

DSO tag reads: 76-0052 Utah
However, the car does not have any holes in the A-pillars, nor in the trunk, etc. I am hoping I can find out more info about this car. I would like to restore it, it is in very rough condition right now. I really look forward to getting to know you guys, and I really appreciate the time, knowledge and expertise that is available here..

Welcome aboard!

You have a pretty rare car. Do you have any pics you can post?

Glad to hear you are going to restore it and there's a pretty good group here ready to help.

I do have a couple. I'll post them up tomorrow morning. Unfortunately, the car did not have any equipment with it when I bought, and I have no history of the car. I'm not even sure where to start...

As promised: Showing some rust on rear deck lid, but appears to be surface at this point

Rough but a good place to start! Looks like the trunk lid is not original. There may be holes that were filled between the outer edge of the 1/4 and the trunk lid itself. You have at least one of the steel wheels still!

Also you have one of the RARE small buck tags as previously posted.
