Interesting, as stated in the ad the car was early in it’s life in Halifax. I met the gentleman who maintained it. He claims the original owner owner a gentleman’s club. The history of the car is quite abridged as I recently did a history search and found the car spent time in Ontario Canada with at least 10 owners between 1981 and 2007. There are late features on the car as stated: floor mounted ebrake, in column ignition, rear defrost, late dash version. The car did spend time at PI and from what can be seen, the ac was replaced (R134 Rotary style, Pantera condenser, under dash evaporator). Yes it has the rear side gussets braces.
