Welcome to the forum man. Great looking car you've got there! Any mods? And I do like that tail panel...

 

Nice! Any plans for it?

 

Thanks for the comments !

Well , thinking about doing a Weber conversion + header / exhaust upgrade .
Some rims would be nice to . It has a classic look now , but hard to keep it that way i think hehe

By the way , im wondering if my car is a " granny " version , since my speedo only reads 80 mph / 140 km/h . This is the only Fb ive seen whit that , any inputs ?

I have the same gauges in my 1982 GSL, what I have read says that because America had the 55 mph speed limit those years they made it so that cars speedos would only read up to 85mph, to keep people from feeling tempted to speed.

 

looks clean, are those clear corners i see?

 

Beautiful car

 

Great looking car. Welcome to the club.

 

Thanks for the compliments and welcomming !

If they are " clear corners " ? U mean as in clear / white - "flasher covers " .

 

80-82 US models were required to have an 85mph speedometer.
Clean looking car. I see it has the 79-80 wheels. They look good on a silver car.

 

Looks clean....me likey!
