Thanks Hawk, Always fun to window shop. An automatic car and looks like it may have some serious undercoating in the engine bay. Either that or it was painted flat black. Which could be because I don't believe Spark Yellow was a color option in 1980. Not trying to knock the car, just sayin in case someone is interested. They should know. For the asking price, you'd have to see this car in person before plunking down that much.

The yellow ones do look nice. The decades-long trend toward bland colors in cars, and the endless sea of white-silver-black cars made today, often depresses me.

My secret fear; a minty Mach Green SA will turn up somewhere halfway across the US at a barely-reasonable price.

It could just possibly lead to a divorce.

I suppose to help you out DD, I'd volunteer to take posession of that car before it could come between you and your lovely bride. A few frogs, but no minty Mach Green sightings out here as of yet. Will keep you posted.

All my vehicles (rx7, F150, BMW) are grey. I kind of like the grey color, ages well
and doesn't show dirt that easily.

On the other hand a Mach Green SA would be sweet especially with the plaid
interior. I didn't like the yellow color at first but its growing on me.

we have a green locally of the rhd variety ... I just don't get the color thou *shrug* I prefer our White, Yellow and Blue that we have but that green gets interest thats for sure

I second the believe Spark Yellow I beleive was a 79 color only, I also think this is too bright to be spark yellow
