sounds like airplane
do like white- but not with chrome

really too bad it doesn't have two-tone

cars are solid mechanically in my experience

if you plan to leave it stock i'd keep looking for one with a better combination of the available parts- if you plan to modify, why nt?

What other options were available for this model? I am seriously considering this checking this out. I also hate the chrome wheels but would probably powder coat them anthracite or gunmetal

looks like valve cover gaskets have never been done, slight leak down the road, i wouldn't be suprised.

also getting complete history of the car, good records, etc. from independent small dealers is not always possible. most buy them at auctions and resell fast, w/out knowing much about the history of the car itself.
