    Well it took some time and elbow grease but they cleaned up OK. Now it's on to changing that funny steering wheel. Compared to todays cars it's like a toothpick. Oh yea I think I need a hood scoop ?

    That car looks nice ... if the mileage is that low, it is probably like it has been sealed in a time capsule ... post more pics of it please ... I am sure other will want to see them.

    I wouldn't do anything on that car that can't be changed back if it really is as factory-fresh as I suspect it is.
