I never got a reply from him via ebay's messaging system on what the serial number was, nor could I prompt him to post one more photo of the serial number plate, but one of our forum members who's actively looking to buy one of these got a photo of the plate out of an associate of his during the 4th listing, it is actually Chalet #0480 built in 7/76. In the 5th listing, the seller didn't say it was #7 anymore, just that it was a "
barn find."
Mightly optimistic price on it this whole time, junkers like this tend not to sell any higher than maybe $1500. One of our guys was speculating that the passenger side rear quarter had been replaced at some point since it has the later-years square fuel filler door while original '76s had the round caps. Not a good sign overall on the quality of the body.
While I know of this one, I never turn down alerts about these since my so-so search links do miss many Craigslist ads and even some ebay listings.
