Yeah they are sweet.
Thanks everyone for the compliments. Got it on the rack, it's a pretty solid car. I'm fighting low vacuum right now. Seems to have a few leaks. I think the car has been sitting a while.

Haha. I thought that's what that was.
Hey JP I put that price into an inflation calander, that's equivilant to just over 25k in today's money.
Another weird thing that's going to take some getting use to is the 4 wheel drum brakes. They just feel different
