Here's some pictures!







Woohoo!

there's supposed to be an "X" or Checkmark there if the
car is only approved for daylight use.

If it is allowed for day and night, then the appropriate mark
would not be there. (As it is in the pic)

Hmmmm, just noticed your tach. What's the deely with the volt meter in the tach? I don't see another needle there, just the numbers.. FB's have different gauges so I don't know about the early ones.

Info please?

Very nice car. wish mine was that clean. But from the looks of it mine has over 130,000 more miles than yours does.

Later,
Bill

the volt meter only worked when the key was swtiched to the ON (or was it ACC) position. After that, it's only a tach.

Correct
Engine off, Key in on position = Volt meter
Engine on = Tachometer

And about the 130,000 miles....
I dunno, I'm climbing past 230,000 baby

Scared? A little, but I'm still having fun, not driving like a maniac, and keeping up with routine maintenance so hopefully it'll be around for a while longer
