I bought the car in May(?) of 1979. I found it in an ad in the local Auto Trader. I paid $3500 for it. I traded the owner my '70 VW Bug ($1000), I had $1000 in cash and I borrowed $1500 from the bank as a personel loan that my Dad co-signed. I made payments of $78 a month. It was my daily driver until I brought a Jeep Cherokee in 1985 after college. I found out after I bought it, it had been rear ended. Trunk lid was not original and the left rear fender had about 1/4" of bondo on it. Also the rear window had been broken, 'cause I found glass under the seats. Within a few months after buying it I started on the bodywork. I finshed it up in the fall of '79 and got it repainted. I also picked up the American Racing wheels you see on it in the first picture below. The car was very clean and I left it stock with a 1.7 in it. I drove the hell out of it.
