I must say, she's friggin' beautiful I've always loved the gunsmoke blue and the grey interior.

Very clean lookin' car. Good Catch. And a GSL-SE to boot!

That is the exact same style that got me into FB's in the first place. My mother in law had a baby blue GS, same interior, mint condition but an automatic. I think your find looks even better

I absoloutly LOVE the gray interior like that. That is one good looking car. Nice find, enjoy it!

Now then, I hate to touch on an iffy subject, but why an -SE when you had the 12A engine built and ported already and what not? Do you plan on selling whatever you can salvage? Or was it simply a good deal? Also, by chance is there anyway I could get the cover for the rear wiper motor and the digital clock that goes in the dash from your old car if you still have either piece? Im thinking that now that you have a replacement, you might have a better idea as to what youre doing with the old car.

How much did you pay? I was looking for one for a couple of months and couldn't find a clean one like yours.

SE suspension, better brakes, bolt pattern, and 13B. Need he say more? He can re-use all his bolt ons too, except for the wheels.

Yep. The only options from the factory on SE's, were leather, & power steering. Glass tops were never on thr brochures.

Good find!

FWIW my SE is non-leather too. Better for very hot/very cold days.

Plus, when cornering, they generally hold your butt in the seat better then leather.

Just like DirectFreak said, SE suspension, better brakes, bolt pattern, and 13B. The 12a Streetport was sweet, but I prefer the injected 13b for a daily driver car I take to work everyday. I think I already have a buyer for the 12a and maybe the wheels. I definetly plan on salvaging everything I can. I dont have a clock, but the cover for the rear wiper is yours if it's still in one piece...I have to look.

Beautiful!!!

That is the color I was searching for when I finally found my black one, great find! I thought I had settled for black at first, but have grown to love it as much as gunmetal/tender blue, or whatever the factory name is for yours...

Peace!
