Post by: jolinari on November 19, 2006, 05:27:51 PM: Hey Nifty...

In 1977 the body trim plate code ZJ1 which is located in the upper left corner just above the interior code stands for (CUSTOM INTERIOR TWO-TONE). This option was never listed in any sales brochures or dealer handouts

NOW your mate should be happy and hopefully will restore his car to its original condition ;41

NCRS SOURCE

NB: ONLY 4 to 5 1977's(in the US) seen with this code...SO IT IS A DEFINETLY UNIQUE CAR IN THAT ASPECT OF COURSE!!

5 cars are currently recordered in the USA...having said that does not mean that there are only 5 cars with this option. Many people are not aware when it come to numbers.
