Looks very nice, and same colour as mine. I bought mine in August, so like you I am still finding out about her foibles and idiosyncracies, which I can forgive as she is 37 years old! More pictures please?

Thanks Robin. It's a ten footer. Previous owner was not a body and paint mechanic so the hood and trunk are showing lots of orange peel and bad filler work upon close inspection. I didn't take a bunch of pictures and right now it is on skates in the garage so I can slide it around more easily in the garage. Tenative plans to take care of the mechanical's before I delve into fixing the paint. Brakes, cooling and electrical stuff comes first but probably not until after the 1st of the new year. It's killing me not to start working on it but priorities dictate that it waits for now and I'll be sure to get some pictures the next time I get it out for a drive.
