I sold the car in 1979..it went through 4 other owners...and I bought the car back about 6 weeks ago. It's like driving a time machine

Not sure of the light blue. The dark blue is the original color code for 1978.

Yep,

"unbutchered" ones are kind of "exotic", but appreciation and community are growing. In "classic rallying" iīm mostly the only one.
Helps in winning the class
