    Nice sport wheel!

    Could you post a better pic of the gauges? Being a '76, that car should have totally black gauges, so I would say that someone changed the gauges to the (nicer looking) early gauges. But I'm curious because it looks like yours has some sort of writing under the fuel gauge. I've never seen that before on the earlier gauges. :hmmm: I'm guessing it says unleaded fuel only or something like that?

    I can see why you want a new stereo. The 80's is knocking, and it wants that one back. :rofl2: :D

    Beautiful car !!!!that color is code 4V(dark yellow green metalic)I think it was called... my 76 maverick was that same color inside and on the outside as yours...those are the original dash and instrument cluster... the only difference on mine I have the s/s fender trim... the color is hard to find here where I live,so I went with a darker tint of green...:thumbs2:

    Kay,

    Greetings from right around the corner ... I live in Dunedin. Really clean car there. I have always been OK with green (see below), and yours is exceptional. Can't wait to see it in person. :thumbs2:

    I beg to differ, 76 cars did not have a 120mph speedo. They were 100mph units and then dropped to 85mph in 77. I believe even some late 75 units ended up with 100mph speedo's as well.
