Posts: 19146 Location: bishop, ca | Will these cars' detail images get destroyed, when the auction site is taken down (yes??) ? If so, someone should post-up the detail views, to preserve them, for future reference. | ||

Expert Posts: 1357 Location: Iowa USA | I have a couple issues with the listing. They had an Under-dash record player not an In-dash record player. Adventurers did not use white convertible tops! There are several detail items under the hood that are incorrect, but I would sure like to have it. | ||
