Well spotted.
Let’s see if you can guess this LA location (barely any clues to be fair: let’s just say it’s iconic).
This pic was about 6 months after the Huntington Beach one, again in a loaned GT rep, just a different one.

904 serial number 9040002.
Photographed with owner Bob Davidson in 1976.
Where is it now, I wonder.

Unfortunately I lost all of my 904 'archive' when my external hard drive got damaged a few years ago ...
However, I remember that 904-002 - one of the 3 prototypes - is (or certainly was ~ 10 yrs ago) still knocking around in California & still largely original (with many unique features), albeit now with a 6-cyl engine instead of the original 4-cam.

Homer Simpsons neighbour Ned Flanders sprung to my mind.
I need to watch smoky and the bandit again soon. And Hooper , where Burt plays a stunt man.
