My dad had an adriatic blue /6 when I first started driving. Hell of a car to learn to drive in. Have driven nothing else that handles like it('cept mine of course) Also nothing like that flat six at 6000RPM. Looking back, dad's may have been a conversion or had the front clip replaced. Seems like the front trunk VIN started 472. Everything else was correct, dash, interior, powerplant, oil tank, sheetmetal. Sold the car to somebody in WV 16-17 years ago. I've really wanted another adriatic blue /6 since, but haven't had the cash to fork out.
