new 7

Sunday the 18th I got a new 7 its k3 color wise an 83 gs bone stock with
188,000 miles been sitting sense 1999 started right up but the front
drivers side break is locked up didn't know it I took it out for a test run
she puts my 81 to shame so am figuring its been rebuilt but don't know
when the p.o. got it at a auction and never did anything with it so I'm
happy with the $400 investment the front end has been primed but
not painted needs a really good cleaning but it looks like this will be a
good dd while I fix up the 81

oh I forgot in spokane the most popular color sold was sunbeam silver so you find more hear with that color than any other but by now a lot of them have been painted other colors but not stock
