And as can be seen it has two owner manuals. And yes, the manual is shared between the Safari and the Sierra. I noticed though that one manual has the logo slightly higher printed, so I was not 100% sure.
So I reached out to the seller and he confirmed it were two manuals. And even better; he was willing to sell one. To my surprise he had another two manuals! How's that?
I was told the owner of the Safari had purchased all of them directly from Monteverdi. The other two manuals had a black binding though but I was assured it was 100% Original and not a reproduction.
So I agreed on the price which was quite hefty but I considered my changes small to find one (in mint condition) in the near future.
And it arrived today (sorry for the poor photo quality):
Very interesting to see the supporting photo's, especially the dashboard interior. Again, this is very likely our car. Also this photo has the odd automatic gearbox shifter which was used in the High Speed 375. And the radio equipped at a different location, this is only possible due to that same gearbox lever/bezel used. Later versions are using the optional Dodge Aspen automatic floor shifter. In fact our car has been modified and been adapted again to the Dodge Aspen floor automatic shifter.
And last but not least, it has still the Original Dodge Aspen steering wheel.
Typical, I think I'm now complete in collecting all required documentation (manual, brochures, books, key fob, decals). I'm getting good at this.
