I asked around a bit after I saw this thread and as far I as I can tell the car is no more. After numerous owners, minor wrecks, multiple engines, and new owner mods it was finally parted and scrapped
I stand corrected. With the help of a friend, a few tips, and some phone calls I have Erics car in my possession. The louvered hood is gone, the yellow is now red, except the inside which is still yellow/white, the frenched headlights are intact, the rears are intact, but hidden under 62-67 housings.
Russell and I have been in touch, hopefully it will end up with him after all these years of looking.
