History
The car has been in Australia for about 15 years. I've owned it for five and it's been a great reliable old girl. It's a factory disc brake, air-con, power steering car and is fitted with the heavy duty 9" diff. The paint and interior are the original factory items and even though the paint has faded a tad, I'll leave her original. I've gone through the brakes from front to rear renewing everything that needed doing including a new power booster. I removed the Pro star wheels that came with it and fitted a set of genuine period American Racing Daisey Pro's. Other than that, she's pretty much how I got her.
Modifications
