I have 50 pictures of this car taken in July, 2009, documenting the VIN 6879, 135 miles on the speedometer, original paperwork and original Arrivas that look like they have never been used. These pics also show pics of the undercarriage and wheel wells with the tires off not shown in the Sotheby's listing. Owner sent them to me in 2021. (The tires are being sold with the car according to pictures in the Sotheby's site) BTW, I was the original owner of 6778, also in white. I used that car as my daily commuter in Chicago for 3 years and some 18,000 miles. In sun, rain, snow or ice, it was remarkably reliable and never once left me stranded. Somewhere along the way, it was restored and last I heard it had been flooded and totaled in the New York area in 2012's hurricane Sandy. Disappeared after that. I still hear regularly from the son of the guy who bought it from me. Wonderful memories. Jeff 6559 On Thu, May 22, 2025 at 12:40 PM Richard Greenblum < Richard@richardgreenblum.com> wrote:
It says it still has the original Arriva tires, but that's not what they look like. They had different tread and sidewalls with "Goodyear" and "Arriva" in white letters.

In contrast to the ‘slightly’ modified Pantera of the other current thread we have this unmodified version with 215 miles on the clock! If there’s no paper trail to prove the mileage I’m always skeptical, but then again I somewhat reluctantly admit I have a ‘74 that has sat on blocks since 2006 now!
