this car was a "street race" car for years, the factory old lady color, column shift, went a long way to winning a lot $$$$$ until people caught on and it got a little bit of a reputation. I never changed the color because.....i dont know it was "my car" and i kind of liked it in that "ugly duckling" way??? any way it stands out now because of its "old lady" factory color appearance, even in its race car form now....IF that makes any sense?? THanks for the nice comments
