Yes, this is the Kenne-Bell car from 1977. It was featured in the 1979 February issue of Popular Hot Rodding. I purchased the car in 05, it was an "Earl Schieb" white. As I was stripping it down the colors (originally painted in 1977 by Molly Sanders) began to show up. It was repainted base coat/clear coat. Not sure how the clear parking lens made it on the car but that is the one of the only difference between the original PHR picture spread and car today. Kind of like playing the game 'find 5 differences between these two pictures' ! I do have a set of amber lens. One of these days I plan to do an article on the car and will post it on the board.
I also have two other 1977 Skyhawk parts cars. One is an astroroof and the other a hatchback. Both are 4 speeds, in poor condition but the drivelines are there.
