Thumbs up I just bought a '79

I just bought this '79 for $400. All it needs is paint and a master cylinder. Interior is near perfect, drove it home about 40 miles runs like a champ.
I'm looking for links to pics of 1'st gens to get color ideas.
I want to paint it some wild color that stands out

vosko decided to back out, so I stepped in. He was actually the one who did me the favor, went with me to check it out, and drove it home for me
