When I purchased my '79 Scottsdale Sport shorty from the original owner he said it came from the factory with with roughly a 2" taller suspension. It had a few amenities like tac, aluminum faced bezel, a neat little hood emblem and captains chairs. I don't know for sure, just what he said.
This was the original paint and wheels. I had Weiand 177 on a built small block so I had the new hood built when this pic was snapped. 6" lift in this pic.
