Every so often, like a picture of an old girlfriend, you see something from your past that pulls at your heartstrings.. 50k orig miles, stock down to the Calif smog equipment. I think i'll try to snag this 185 hp beast Smile ..

If any car ever needed a black/yellow license plate, that is one.

(Yes, I know... technically in '79 CA plates were already blue.)

You have good taste. I have been wondering when those would appreciate in value. I know they aren't inexpensive, but they aren't 60's era muscle car expensive either. The black with gold is sweet!

Having done a little research,, I've honestly convinced myself this is an investment.

i say get one before they become super spendy like the 1st gen and the 70-71 Camaro's.

thanks for all the positive vibes!!

So sad..

She went to a car show and never came home, I never actually had a chance to sit and smell here sweet 80's leatherette

She's the one that got away.. so, the search continues.

Damn, that sucks! Saw you posted a reply and was hoping for driveway pics from your driveway. That thing was nice!

its beautiful!!!! Now I believed in love at first sight. If not a secret, how expensive the maintenance of such a vehicle? And how long are car parts? I'd be interested to know.
