    Be sure and save those plates and license plate frame. Probably original to the car and from the original dealer.

    I actually let the seller keep them because he wanted them. He did say they were original though. Oh well.

    Ok, everybody convinced me. Now I am just hoping that they weren't already swapped out. I didn't check. If so, I guess I need to hit the gym.

    I really Enjoy the Fact that it has the Original Paint... Survivor cars are the only way to go IMO... ill take a chipped up Original paint car over a Repaint anyday! Once you cover the factory paint its gone forever!! Since it's white i bet that paint comes back very nicely.

    What is that located above the USA shield on the driver's side?

    The seller described it as an old school car alarm. It is keyed and hooked up to both the trunk and hood.

    After a long, long couple of weeks the sprint finally arrived. Attached is a pic as it pulled up today.

    The nice thing is that in Michigan, you don't need any inspections to title and license a car so I already had everything ready to go. I gave it a quick wash, and luckily there was no leaks inside of the car so my cowls must be good. Took my kids on rides around the neighborhood and went through it all. I am completely a novice when it comes to cars so I am probably going to be way over my head but it should be fun. Thanks for all the help.
