A twin of mine, except for no pascha. No doubt this one's nicer than mine though. One third the miles...

The Tulsa sale the 79 was pushed across the stage (would not start ) and sold for $6,600 PLUS buy fees like 8 % or so $7,128 it was purchased by a well know midwestern retailer of collector cars ! It will probably pop up on E-bay soon ...

Abby,
Back in 79 they had to discount the car sooooo much because it was a 5 speed and had LSD that the price was reduced by at least $5k

That car is in the position of being a shame to put any miles on. Scary. Awesome color though.

I think that is fantastic! Good for you Roger! I have had my eyes open for a 78 5 spd. I had an opportunity but I let it slip away. I will get one before it's over with. If your gonna get an OB, get a 78/79 I say.

Here, here. How do you do it?

Without giving away any of your secrets what's the back story on this? We all like another "The Cobra in the Barn" story.

How'd you find out about it?

More about the PO? "Can't drive it no more" gent? Wife's car?

First impression when they pulled off the cover?
As we say here in Texas, spill the beans.
