Coupe GT question

[Ed Kellock]

I've heard of the term Special Build before, but though it was just a
way to describe it.  Didn't realize it was something unique that could
be ordered.  Cool.  I'd like to see that window sticker, though I
doubt I'll go all the way to PA to do so.  Are there any pictures of
it available online?
