    ? About the rims?

    I believe they are clear coated when new. Some people remove the clear coat and polish the aluminum. The problem with that is that unless it is coated again, they will oxidize over time and require periodic re-polishing.

    Thinking Of Selling #76

    If you're in no hurry, start high; maybe $38 or $39k. Whatever offers you get may give you an idea of where the market for it is. Also, there's one going at Barret-Jackson soon.

    Someone Has Wrong Car Number Build

    Previous owner maybe. The registry shows quite a few cars with more than one owner. When a car gets sold the last owner's name usually doesn't get dropped from the list. My car still shows my name and two previous owners, as well.

    Parade Car On Ebay

    Good question. As far as I know, all the Parade Cars at Indy were Festival Cars, and all Festival Cars had cloth interiors. This one is leather.

    Car And Driver Mentions The Tta

    The June issue of Car and Driver lists twelve cars they consider the next generation of collectibles. Among them was the 1989 20th Anniversary Trans Am. They say "Expect a breakout as values pass $40,000". Nice.
