New (to me) '83!

Just bought this '83. In pretty good shape except for the paint on hood and trunk. Drivers seat needs new leather too. Rust free as far as I can tell, been in Jackson MS all it's life. 75,000mi

Very neat. I'd Maaco the thing in the original color for now, fix it up as you go. They actually do a pretty good job if you strip off the exterior bits yourself (leave them nothing to mask over). It's not show quality, but it's at least as good or better than it left the factory with. When you try to switch colors or do something fancy their process has trouble.
