Title: The only known BL1 AAR 'Cuda?
Post by: benlavigne on September 17, 2017, 08:11:34 AM
Another rare local Canadian 'Cuda, according to the AAR Registry, it is the only known BL1 Sand Pebble Beige AAR... Cannot find the total produced in that color, but it is one of the rarest.
The original owner passed away a few years ago, and his son kept the car and did a mechanical restoration.
It has been repainted long ago, but retained the original color!

There was a BL1 T/A on the Coronado Amphib Base back in the 70's.... Not the color I would choose but to each his own.....

That white always looks off to me.  I think they made it a little "whiter" in 1971, right?  Either way, cool rare car.  :yes:

That is another great car! Ha, ha it is lucky it survived the 70's without that paint making a good base to metalflake or pearl over.

Got me wondering here.  There's an AAR I've seen at some shows southwest of Chicago that is beige.  Or is it white...I was just looking at a couple pictures I have of it and am not 100% sure.
It has a tan interior, and the oddest thing is it has is rear shoulder belts.  Though the code for that isn't on the tag.
I'm pretty sure I've taken pictures of the tag, I'll have to dig around and see if I can find them to see if it's biege!
There is a beige T/A in the area, in southern WI.  It's owner Norm bought it in the mid 70s when he was in the service.  Has CA emissions on it.  Tan interior, 4 speed.  Did I mention it's unrestored?
It's been in the survivor tent at Carlisle.

If it's the same one I remember from Coronado NAB the guy who owned it was a UDT Seal...

There were probably more than one built in that color, but it is the only one registered in the AAR registry!
As a matter of fact, I think there was also a T/A in the same color around here...
