Re: anyone who knows about a spirit of 76

As I mentioned in the PM I sent you, there aren't a lot of spirit trucks around...or even made. I would try to keep it as orig as possible, but that is just my opinion.

I wis I had more info on them, but I don't.

Perhaps contact Joe (elgracho), he might have some info.

Re: anyone who knows about a spirit of 76

Jeff I directed him to your page on specialty trucks. This one is rather odd in that it doesn't appear to have any of the exterior stripes, marking, etc.

While I wouldn't think it is the most desirable version of a Spirit truck, it's still as rare as any of them.

I agree that the integrity of the option should be maintained by keeping it as original as possible.

Re: anyone who knows about a spirit of 76

All the ads on my site have been purchased at car shows, swap meets, eBay, etc...for the sole purpose of educating and entertainings folks like us on these trucks. I am not the expert on special edition trucks like Joe is, that is why I suggest you visit his site or contact him to pick his brain.

PM "elgracho", that is Joe...he has a special editions site (that appears to be down or has changed names)...he might be able to help you more than me.
