1/16/10 I purchased this car today, and it will be a wonderful base for a restoration. Very rare black plenum tube early tii, with the high compression 121ti head and sunroof. Rare and desirable Polaris with blue interior. Off-road since ’87 with an apparent 140K miles, and found donated to a charity auction.

Original SoCal car with blue plates. It needs everything, but very sound and straight. Numbers match, and the motor is free but not running yet. 1/23/10 SOLD and starting to disassemble and strip paint. Very solid and no evidence of damage or rust through. Going to bare metal. 2/6/10 Clean the beast! 2/13/10 Beginning the bodywork and priming.

Replacing the fenders. 3/1 Bodywork done and primer drying. We’ll be ready to begin painting in a couple of weeks and some dry weather. 3/13 Motor long block nearly done. 3/27 Painted and beginning to reassemble, run the wiring looms and prepare the floor with sound deadening and rustproofing paint. 4/10. Sub assemblies.

Motor, heater box, pedal box, bumpers, brakes, suspension… 5/9. The body is color sanded and polished and rolling. Time to add the sub-assemblies and check everything out. 5/13 Attaching the trims and details. 6/5 At the trim shop to get the headliner mounted.

Afterward, you will be able to seal the car up with glass and install the sunroof and dash, etc., to get it driving. 9/10 Car is running and going together.
