IIRC there are no adjustment collars on the early cars..this tends to bring the front end up a bit to the preferred factory ride height. Could also be the car hasn't settled after being lifted off of it's wheels (2 post lift ?) or after an alignment or ? and the car has not settled...this normally takes 50-75 miles to do so. Beautiful car though...look at the side bolsters on the drivers front seat...astonishing ! I feel it's best to start a bit high for the asking price than low. I recently sold a 13,xxx mile, MY 79 OB for a bit less that was every bit as nice as^^. I'd value this^^OB's value between $45-55k. YMMV. T
My ‘78 (#338) sits like this at the front as well. I’ve used the WSM to measure the height between the ground and the lower chassis point stipulated in the procedure and it’s dead on. Maybe this is the reason she seems to sit a bit higher than most later OB’s that I see?....
This is a twin to my Cdn spec 89GT (except I'm over 330K now LOL). Only 12 apart on the assembly line. Same option codes too. Mine spent about a year in Toronto before ending up in Cali.
Too bad the original CS rims aren't included (these are 7" fronts and 9" rears). But heated sport seats are the best!!
From looking at those pics provided they look like 2 7's and 2 9's to me. The 9's have a shallower dish than the 8's and the 7's are definitely convex..(in the pics with all 4, it looks like a 9, a 7, a 9, and a 7).

You're right. Definitely not 8". Likely 944 turbo S fronts
