It definitely stands out. I like it. This also stands out, but is a monument
to bad taste.

I changed the air cleaner too. I am thinking about selling this one though, maybe, maybe not. County's cutting road right in front of my house, I need room. For cars, dogs and eventually a kennel.

I graduate from Harvard, and this one has the crimson interior, that's one of the reasons it's hard for me to part with her if I'm selling.

Looks like a 1979 body with an earlier engine and engine bay items. Where is the coolant overflow bottle, coil, and washer bag?

It's a 80 2000, with a rebuilt 1608, 32ADFA carb.

Coil's on the driver's side lower fender. Anything I don't need, I take it off. I only drive the car once a week, never in the rain, with my rescued dogs and come back wipe the dust off, vaccum the dog hair, and then done.

did you paint your car that green or did you buy it that way? If you bought it that way did it come from michigan? Had a friend sell his and it was that green

Where did you get the shifter boot? I hate the way the stock boot looks.

I paint all my cars and trucks myself. I work on them myself too, mechanically to cosmetically. To me, who started to work on cars since 11, I don' t think there's any fun if I don't do it myself.

To be honest with you, I don't know. I collect spiders, so I've about 8 or 9 right now sitting on my property. If I want to change something, I'll looking among all the cars I have first. I happen to find this boot in a 75 Spider, liked it and took it off, put on this 80.
