Thought I would give a little specs on the car,
The burgandy one as it sit is a 1984, S model:
It has a 12A with racing beat intake manifold and carb and air filter assembly, 7PSI Holley pump, light wieght steel flywheel, cross drilled front brake rotors, rear drum with limited slip installed, exhaust is just a pace setter header and cheap fart can muffler. I have a header on the way to reinstall my racing beat exhaust. Also have stainless steal brake lines as well. Repainted the trim around the windshield and the wiper blade arms as well.
