here she be, a little sleepy

 

very nice. lovin the mint black interior

 

thx. im lucky the previous owner took great care of it(minus the occasional kid playing too close to the car). it even came w/ a perfect leather bag dealy for the roof.

 

Nice car, but tell us more info please

 

I beleive i am the 3rd owner now, the previous owner lived a couple blocks away from me for years and i always stopped to look at the car. bout 2 months ago i stopped by just to talk to another 1st gen guy(i also have a '79), long story short...he replaced the clutch(OE)put a full RB exhaust and dual sheeve alt pully on, then he had kids, so the car just sat in the garage. I fanally got him to sell me the car for $2000 and that same night me and a couple guys i share a shop w/ installed my RB springs, new shocks and the 15's( i bought them for the '79, but that evolved to a diffent project). hopefully either this weekend or on wed. ill be installing my OER carb that i just got from Rotaryshack and my MSD + coils

 

Hey, mine too!

Really, really, nice S2. Even though the speedo's only go to 80, the Series 2 is my favorite and I'm glad I have one.

 

Damn I was expecting another beat *** stock 7. And I was going to talk ****, but damn hot ride mang!

 

thats a tiny speedo...if i remember correctly mine goes to 200 or 220

 

Nice. Nothing tops the black interior... speaking from experience of course, heh heh heh....

Nice car.

85!!! I love my s2 too. I'll be swapping in an 85 SE interior though. My interior is all shat and it's easeri to just replace all of it.

 

So did you put the stock wheels from it on that Bronco II in the background of the second pic?

 

Nice FB you have there. Same color as mine. I wish mine was an 82 then I would be getting the Historic plates this January. I hate the Maryland MVA!

 

Realize your speedo is probably in KMH his is in MPH BIIGGGG difference in #'s

 

Actually early models only went to 85mph on the speedo. I think it was in 83 or 84 when they went to 140.

 

I don't like the sleepy eyes, and I don't like the wheels. Either way though, it is an extremely clean and in extremely good shape from the looks of it. Low miles too. I thought I had awesomely low miles at 114,000 when I bought it.

 

Needs bucket lights and center caps. Then it'd be hot.

 

Nice car. I love the interior... my door panels are ripped but everything else is cool.

 

Not too bad. If you want to change that speedo to a 130 mph, I have an extra that I need to sell. The wheels don't look too bad, but the headlights------ some like it, some don't. Anyway, good find. And remember folks, don't crush 'em, restore 'em!

 

Looks sweet brotha! Keep it as is bro!

 

That is one sweet looking car. I like how the silver of the Kosie's works to set off the color of the car. There are few car colors that those wheels really look good on, but I think you nailed it.
Treat her well, and you should enjoy a long-term relationship together.

 

How do you know?

 

thx all for the compliments. as for wheels, the koseis look pretty good (got'em for $390 shipped, new)but i would really love some cast magnesium RS Watanabe's, but at $525 a piece ill need to save for a while . shes lazy eyed temporarily b/c i have to manually operate them(borrowed the fuseable link for another car) but i kinda like how it looks for now. i hope to post some under hood pics (before & after) when the new carb is on
