- Nice car, I tried to buy one new in 73 but could not raise the cash. I wanted an orange one and remember seeing it at Armstrong Buick and talking with the salesman about trading in my Hillman but they were not interested in my car. Oh well it is one of those fond memories.

About
This was my very first car. I got it as a sophomore in high school. After I graduated, my brother got the car. He fully modified and restored it, adding a front air damn, weber carb, swapping in a 4-speed manual, putting on nice wheels and giving it a sweet paint job. He sold it several years ago on ebay.
Photos coming soon, both before and after.
