But anywyas, thanks a lot to Seth (cymfc3s) and Mike for showing me this car and selling me it.

Looks like the one that was for sale in Sunnyvale CA. I was thinking about it, but I've got 3 now. It's a fine looking car. Have fun with it.

The centre consoles changed for the 84-85s. Has nothing to do with which model it is, be it an S, GS, GSL or GSL-SE; It's only dependant on year.

Really nice looking Node! All you need to do is re-black the trim and it will look hella sharp!

yeh we got some ugly looking things due to the fact that they have to fold back if they hit anything.

I would post a pic but the forum doesn't want too

Yeah, previuos owner owned a body shop and paintedit himself, used to be brown/brown, but he redid the interior too, looks real nice for being mostly sprayed in black interior paint.
looks great, every bit, i mean i see some minor imperfections, but it looks better than my old fc in almost mint interior. its black/silver instead of grey
