Back again with another 78 Savanna.

So I sold my yellow 78 Savanna in 2015 and regreted it right away. I told myself as soon as I pay off my condo in Colombia that I would by another one and here I am.

The good.

Its been sitting in the owners rotary shop for 9 years in the South so no rust. Just started up yesterday for the 1st time and started right up.

Interior seems to be in good shape and still has the rear seats. Car the engine is 100% factory as well as exaust.

THE Bad

The car has been painted but not the original green it came from factory. They painted it a darker green with metal flakes and added a Targa top. Maybe someday I will paint it back to the original green. Paint code anyone?

that looks like a nice starting point...is that a fuzzy dash? that targa looks out of place on a stock car so if u ever want to get rid of it, hit me up (seriously). while I like widebodies, I think the new owner should have kept the car as it was before and found another candidate for a widebody. good luck with the new car.

It would be cool if that screw flange was gone and there were tiny pockets for rivnuts.
