Learned something new today
I went and looked at a car that might be for sale and saw a couple of things I had not seen before...
Some plastic trim around the front and rear wheel well openings.. never seen that before!
Also never seen 15" phone dials on a 5spd car and in fact thought all the 5spd cars were standard w/ the 16" wheels...from reading sales literature of the day that is the way it sounded anyway... this was all on an '80 car...

Hmmmm...did you read "5spd car"... do you really think I can drive a 5spd? Man, I am good with hand controls, but not THAT GOOD! FDR was...but that was the old days when he was about the only one WITH a car on most roads...

Totally stock and original... per the owner (who has passed) friend, he was a very tight wad Jew... He was penny wise and pound foolish. Had he spent only a small amount extra to get a 365 GTB Daytona instead of the crappy 4 seat GTC, he would have ended up with a car worth 5X as much maybe?! Same (but to a much lesser extent) w/ the 928... no rub strips, 15" wheels, and the list goes on, just trying to save a buck or two. Oh well... same on his Jag...2+2 vs a real FHC! Give me a break...
