Year & Serial # 1974, but I haven't checked the SN yet as I just purchased it yesterday.
Build Date (if available) Unknown at this time.
Original/Restored Older restoration.
Your name (at least first name) Lance.
Location (at least state/country) Minot, ND
Owned since 2/6/10
Original Dealer Unknown, however the gentleman I bought it from stated he used to live in Fargo, ND and that the sled was in his family from new.
History/Number if Raced Unknown, but doubtful.
Special Comments This sled was completely gone through by the previous owner. Decent older restoration. Special features include newer style plastic fuel tank and 295/S gears. The owner stated that he had a 295/S, but was too far gone to be a practical resto. He stole the gearing, placed it in this JDX8 and sold the rest a while back.. SHUCKS! He says she'll really stand up off the line though! It does have a problem currently however..... no spark. I received enough spare parts though that I feel I can get her going again. Wish me luck!
