I have only seen one in my life, a brownish reddish wagon parked on Bustleton
Ave near The Blvd in Philly about two months ago. That's right, one. Ever.

I have seen more authentic Shelby Cobras and Porsche 959s then this! This makes
the Dasher a real rare find. But YMMV as to how wonderful a find this is.
