Cool!
I wonder what the VIN plate and registration will show - '79 or '80?

I was looking at the VIN plate on the inner fender and I guess the one that has the build date is the one on the drivers door pillar. Is that right? I went and had a look at my 45 and a 60 and that's where I see the date. The month is stamped in and the rest is painted on. The one on the 55 door has been painted over but maybe I can strip the paint and see the month . I'm pretty sure it's registered as an '80. I am going nuts having to wait two more weeks to get it here!

built dec 79 but registered as an 80. I am having trouble with the back window. I need to push on it to finish opening or closing it. Would that be the motor or spring or gears binding or what causing it ? I tried searching for some rear window tips but couldn't find any. Can anyone help? pete

Pete I am having that same problem on my 79. I you notice when you open the rear ttailgate you will see the contact for the tailgate to body on the left, I did a minor adjustment to mine and it seems to be fine. Seemed as if the contact had been pushed back a little and as the window road up on the channel it was actually pushing the tailgate out just slightly to loose contact. Hope this helps.
FWIW - LPS3 is a rust preventative, not a lubricant. It is easily removed with paint thinner (VM&P) or other low flash point thinners.
I would've given him $1500 if he held firm to that. That's what you'd pay for a 1971, and wouldn't get the 2F and disc axle! Seen lots worse for that money. Can't believe you guys were trying to dicker it down so far. Congrats, lucky bastard!
LPS3 is great stuff, I use it all over underneath my trucks. I discovered it working for a commercial airliner overhaul company, Boeing used to spec it to coat the inside of fuselage skins to prevent corrosion.
