Yep, those magnums were nice. I wonder how many are left? My buddy had one, a black one with T-Tops just like the one in the picture, but with red interior. Lots of great times in that car, but one funny story with that car. My buddy all ways wanted a custom paint job. So he had my other buddy a pretty good painter put a clear coat of paint with flip-flop / pearl paint. The only problem was he used red thinking it would look cool with his black car having a dark red hue when the light hit it right. Well I don't know if many of you know what happen when you mix black and red together it usually equals =========== PURPLE. Yes, that’s right purple. Anyways the guy that painted it got sick from the hardener paint he used, he was used to shooting lacquer. He couldn’t repaint it for him, so I got stuck with the job. So with pushed the car out for the garage to water sand it and when the sun light hit it, it was a bright Iridescent PURPLE. Then I heard my buddies laughing hysterically, they open up the door and the match of bright red interior and iridescent purple was not good. Not good at all, I don't think even Huggie Bear would be seen drive that thing. But any ways I painted black again with enamel and water sanded it, buffed it and it looked great. He later traded it for a Ford T-Bird super coupe, what a waste. Still like that Magnum to this day, wherever it is. Sorry, didn't mean highjack this thread but it was a funny story and thought you guys would like it.
See ya, Snowdoggie
