Great '80. Black is a tough one to keep clean, but man, when it's prepped it's always a stunner! What size rear tires are you running bozzman3?

My 71. Clay barred then polished and waxed with Meguires right after I bought it. Don't do anythig except wipe down with Meguires detailer after every drive now. Looks as good as when it was first waxed. (but it never sees the rain).

Looks great from this distance...up close the paint is not great. It is on the list, but way down the priorities.

Wow(!) on your black paint and wheel combo LudemJo.

Here's my`76 all shined up. Pretty much stock aside from a sweet running 300 horse crate engine.

Here's a few of mine from a year or two ago. Had just finished up the full treatment: wash, clay bar, fine polish (mainly on the nose), glaze, and wax.
I use Adam's products and have been happy with the results.

Looks like you did the steering wheel conversion on your `76. I will be but I haven't got to it yet.
