    this 71 is originally F7 with F7 inside with a vinyl top. It is a granny car originally 6 cyl 3 speed on da floor, but not when its done. I have a good idea on drive train, but final color has me stumped for now. A4 winchester grey is a fav, but white with a colored interior black top? sassy grass? lemon twist? even thought of plum crazy but that like B5 is over rated, B3 is nice also.
