The original export brace and firewall reinforcement are there, the only thing that wasn't on the car when I bought it in 1987 was the washer reinforced shock towers, I added a set when I restored it. I don't understand it either which is why I'm researching the subject. I've been in contact with all the previous owners and as far as they recall the car never had them. And no, it's not a rebody.

As I mentioned I have seen a number of original cars without them near my VIN which is what peaked my curiosity as to it possibly being a supply issue.
