I think the car was orginally pea-green. It's orange now. Wish it still was green.

No hood scoop. Not on tag and not std on the car.

You would need a J54 on the tag for hood scoops.

I called the original owner of my car and had a great conversation. He sent some information and early pictures of the car. Give him a call.

I would give him a call if I could get his number somehow...if anyone in that area sees it in a phone book, shoot me a pm.

A little update: I wrote the gentleman a letter two weeks ago and he replied the other day wanting to see pics via email of car...he said he couldnt believe it still existed..heard it got wrecked after he sold it. He wants to call and chat with me about it.. so I'm gonna give him a buzz in an hour or two...neat to find history of something you've wondered about.
