The Marti report confirms JD's info and notes it was sold from Midway Ford Sales in Los Angeles, CA.

Big lag time between San Jose and SAI completion dates.

Then another 2 months to ship?

#749 has been offered for sale several times over the past few years.  The Marti report was posted in the listings.

The car color was red in 2016, blue for the 2018 and most recent listing.

Should this car have AC from the factory?  It looks like one of the old York compressors -- which means it's unlikely to be aftermarket.

Did not come with factory AC. That was added in the 80's.

Got it.  If it was added in the 80's, that beast of a compressor makes much more sense.
