The friend I bought it from removed the tag while it was painted, and gave it to me separate when I bought it from him.
Funny story- he previously had a 1970 Challenger that came from the factory in Plum Crazy with a white top and interior.
He hated that color combo and had it changed to blue with a black interior and top.
A few years later he picked up this Duster, which was Lemon Twist from the factory.
...and he hated that color! But what did he change it to? Plum crazy!
Anyway- the tag is still FY1-
This was a cool car.
If someone has it, I'll send them the tag.
If it's for sale, I'll make an offer and possibly put it back as built.
Last seen in the Miami, FL area plum crazy with black 75 Charger buckets, B&M shifter, rear windshields louvers, 14/15" rallye wheels and rust starting to come through, only in the driver's side quarter to rocker area.
