Here is a car that I used to own almost 20 years ago. I bought it back last month and I am thrilled. It needed the usual things: gas tank cleaned out, carb rebuild, brake work, etc. I've done all those things and it runs amazing. When I sold it, the reverse had gone out. The previous owner fixed the reverse. Anyway, when I owned it back then, it was missing the very long almost 7 foot long mouldings that go from the back of the door to the back of the car and also missing the wheel covers. I just found a set of wheel covers, but still looking for those elusive mouldings, If anyone has a lead on those feel free to message me. Thank you, Nick.

Neat car, I like the color. I was wondering what model it was and then read there were no models, just a 2dr hardtop & 4dr hardtop, and that production ended in late November. Very unusual due to the circumstances of the announcement of its demise.
