As the title states, what’s the elusive unicorn that would make you lose your mind if you found it at a swap meet or buried in an old timers garage?

I understand more parts are being reproduced and that’s awesome but sometimes original just can’t be beat or reproduced.

Please exclude one off or pure race stuff, while very cool and has potentially Uber cool stories behind them, they weren’t exactly offered to the public making them more unobtainium then holy grail. I guess I mean factory or factory authorized (or unauthorized) parts so we will start there.

Wait, so 73 doors didn't have the crash bars inside?

if that's the case, I just learned my 73 does not have 73 doors (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Best I can tell, there are three kinds of '73 doors: no bars w/early windows, no bars w/late windows, and bars w/late windows.

Is that Dan McLaughlin's A.I.R. (orig) shop on Santa Anita Ave. in Burbank ? The mule for his A.I.R. wide body kit/ Bond turbo car ¿¿
Dan's shop had that Wooden Barn style low overhang like the pic (IMG:style_emoticons/default/flag.gif)


Have always wondered what happened to the Bond car. Has it been seen since back then?
