Gary - Is your car still in original color gel coat or was it painted sometime in its life? It looks too good to be original gel coat. All the CMC/FF were color gel coat which was meant to save builder time/$ as the gel coat was the final surface. It can be wet sanded and buffed to get a nice shine --- but a decent paint job will "out shine" it. The red gel especially turns pink quickly. Mine came in black gel coat and there was an extra charge for that color.
Someone who used to work at CMC said all records were kept for 7 years and then thrown in a dumpster. This was 1992 plus 7 years - I'm surprised there were NO computer records that survived! I've found no record of # built total or per year or ratio of classic to California "C" models. CMC also made the Gazelle, MGTD, 359, Cobra and a '34 Ford Vicky --- and the factory build Tiffany.
