Ownership & History
Owner Comments
A great survivor that just came in trade here at Lotus Denver. Rumored to have been produced in Carnival red and owned by Abbie Hoffman of the the infamous Chicago Eight. It's currently finished in blue over black with proper gold bumpers. It has the rare "bulged" bonnet that I understand only a few early production models retained. At some point is been fitted with a black crank back vinyl top. If anyone has information about this chassis # I'd love to gather some history for this car.
