[F500] Fw: help me verify my F440

[O.S. Brannon]

We owned an 81 Red Devil which had this same configuration.
It was very similar to the car in the pictures, but I would judge the car
in question is one or two years older?
Chuck McAbee has been involved with this class, almost since it's inception
and I am sure he will know for certain what it is.
