Half of the rear window trim is chrome, the other half black... Nice car.

Yeah, but did you notice how nicely the drivers seat is worn, hopefully only she drove it, sniff! I sure hope my wife doesn't see this post! Honestly honey, I'm just kidding! I should just delete this post.

Other than that the car looks descent. Engine could have been cleaned up a bit. Nice that Ms Carter posed with it!

I had a huge crush on her. I used to think I could look down her costume by standing near the TV and looking down at the screen. Hey, I was 9 y/o when she was a hottie. Still not half bad.

Tickover at 4500 revs or a broken tacho. Its a care of address - not the home address.
She still looks good to me - wonderwoman that is.

C'mon guys, she looks GREAT. Very "period correct" and all that. Well-maintained and aging gracefully.
The car looks pretty nice, too.

Drive Door panel is pinned with a screw.
Door panel lowers are dirty
Rear chrome is off color
Tach is broken or the car's idle is set at 4000 RPM, or maybe it has an MSD ignition conversion done improperly. (Engine is running)
Wheels have been stripped
I don't like the pin striping

Is that a smog pump for air emission on the left of the motor? Is this specific to california SCs? Mine is a 78SC and does not have that.

The front license plate looks crooked too. It's all about the details.

This pic looks like she is the cat woman instead of wonder woman:



Geez, I thought the next pic was going to be her on top of the car!

I go by that shop all the time. For the local guys, Omar from Intersport bought Cherner's about a year ago. I see Omar all the time and will have to ask about this. I knew Lynda Carter lived in Potomac, but didn't know she had ties to the local Porsche community.

probably would get more bids if she could still pull off this outfit and pose with the car.
