Pretty sure that is a scan that I provided to the owner.

I came across this very interesting, nearly identical car a short time before this one came on the market. I thought they might be the same car, but it appears the '69 Can Am car is an XR-7, while the '69 MIS car appears to be a Standard. The only differences I can see are the side mirrors, tires, and the interior trim (XR-7 vs Standard Decor). Both appear to be R-codes with factory hood pins, and both even have power windows.
