Wow, yours too! I can't figure out how to easily put up an album here...very kludge interface on this forum, but from what I can see, your car is flawless.

That is nice!!! Some times bought is better than built or rebuilt. What did you pick it up for?

We met them Sunday at Super Car Sunday C3 event. Super nice folks and really nice roadster!

Muzkgyuy, we missed you on the cruise. I want that steering wheel!

Hey Eric, it was great to meet you as well. I need to pick your brains more since I don't know NEARLY as much as I should about these old beauties!

nope, not at all.. only had the top up a few times anyway.. once when it started to rain, and other times when I took it out for winter exercise.

Well, I took the top off (a bit of a PITA) and have stored it with its original cover in the back of the garage. Who knows WHEN I'll need to put it back on!?

Very Very Nice....love the color.

I have a black vinyl hardtop and have never had it on the car....they have a habit of tearing up the paint on the rear deck.

I really like that color. It seems to change with different light conditions. I too have a '70 drop top and love it. Can you tell me about the steering wheel? I don't like the stock '70 wheel, too big, too skinny. If it is aftermarket, do you know what brand and part #? thanks
PS I checked with Tim H and he said it's okay to use an aftermarket wheel.

The car came with this wheel. The former owner said that his step father put it on, but could not tell me from whence it came. But then at Super Car Sunday, Eric Voight (a member here) said it looked to be from a '76. I still have the original, but like this one MUCH better for now.
