[T3] Witness Squareback

[Keith Park]

The steering wheel and wipers nail the movie car as a 71, and indeed
this IS the movie car.

The car in Hershey was owned by a guy named Eric,  he bought it from
Paramount after the movie for around $4500, drove it home and it quit on the
way, towed it the rest of the way and it was never touched again till
hershey.  Eric was pretty much living out of the car he did drive, so not
sure how much longer he had it but it was the one thing he had that had some
value.  After Hershey, one of the participants loned Eric his truck and tow
dolly to move the car into a local storage locker, where it may have been
ever since.

This latest ad sounded like it came from someone who knew less about it 
than the guy who had it in Hershey. I have to admit that I don't remember 
him, but didn't he seem pretty aware of the car's history. He didn't just
find it 
in an abandoned storage locker, did he?

Yes, THIS one is, clearly, from the VIN that's given, but was the Witness
car 
a '71?

I may just be biased here by the fact that I have a light blue '73 in
storage, 
that looks just like that car, and also needs to get out on the road again.
