Bought it out of Derby, Kansas, as a one owner vehicle. Had 86,000 miles when purchased in December 2012. Garage it for the winters and use it on sunny summer and fall days. Enter it some local car show, generally in the best of the 80s class.
Found the original build sheet in the drivers seat.

just had the seat re-upholstered and back curtain trimmed.

prior to my purchase, car was resprayed with original dark briar brown color. Have recently replaced front and rear bumpers--purchased from Dixie Restoration---very good quality.
replaced all side trim, except for both front wheel wells.
converted from single exhaust to dual with system purchased from PYPES. All stainless--very satisfied with the quality and sound.
