1976 - Original color was Rosso Granada. First owner Italian singer Little Tony who had a TV installed in the glove box. European model with stainless steel bumpers.
Nov 1982 - To a New Jersey Psychiatrist who lovingly maintained the car at great expense during his 24 years of ownership.
March 2006 - Jan 2010 - To Grant Townsend in West Palm Beach, Florida, USA who then drove the car all the way home from New Jersey, a very, very long trip.
Aug 2009 - Advertised by then owner on ebay with 66,000 miles on the odometer. Described as: "The body has been striped, repaired, block sanded and painted a conservative light metallic cinnamon brown. The rocker panels are tobacco brown with the two colors separated by a quater inch strip of gold leaf, a very stunning combination. The 5 original mag. wheels have been restored and 5 new Pirelli P4000 tires have been installed. The black leather interior is originial and is in good condition, with some attention to be given to the driver side carpet and a slight part in the driver side seat back. Mechanically the car has just had a tune up and is running good. The AC compressor has been up dated with a more efficient Sanden compressor and it works very well. Belts and hoses replaced. The 5 speed transmission has been replaced with a 700R4 automatic, which makes for much easer driving. I have the originial transmission and will replace it a long with a new clutch if so desired. I have over 70,000.00 invested in this car. The company that restored the body is well known for their work on vintage automobiles and motorcycles. Mechanical work has been done by Schnieder Engineering, a shop the specializes in World Class racing cars. When I purchased the car 3.5 years ago, I drove it non stop from New Jersey to Palm Beach Florida. It is still running strong."
Jan 2010 - Advertised again on ebay, this time with 67,678 miles on the odometer and 5 speed gearbox reinstalled along with a new clutch, clutch plate, clutch master cylinder, and clutch slave cylinder.
Jan 2010 - To new owner in north Georgia, USA who drove the car for 11 hours all the home from Florida. "Tons of thumbs up from other drivers along the way and especially the Florida turnpike toll booth collectors. One of them kept complementing the car and would not lift the gate!"
