Very green!

Mine might have looked like that originally, but with white seats and no vinyl top (and standard hubcapped wheels, and side molding...). Well Ok it would have looked the same color anyway.

Nice car!

Fun stuff... just found my want list from a 1984 Ed Hamburger catalog in a UNLV notebook... wonder if the catalog itself is still around somewhere.  I need to get a new DC... er Mopar Perforrmance catalog too.

The original plan (circa 1984) was to replace the engine with a 340 six-pack and build the car up as a 'handling' machine.  I have a number of the parts that I got good prices on at the time (linkage, carbs, intake, etc) but never got started on the engine proper.  I'm not sure I still want to go that route what with stroked small blocks , efi, and even current Hemi installs possible.  But time and money will tell.
