'81 owners, stop in please

I am writing this with my heart broken. My beloved '81, that I drove almost every day (it was my baby), was stolen and totaled this past weekend. I am parting it out, so if you need anything, contact me. I will be posting a more detailed description of what is available/ of interest in the parts for sale forum.

God bless, Sensei

As has been noted, your wealth of knowledge re the 81s was VERY helpful to me when I bought mine a few years ago. Thanks again.

So sorry to hear that. I despise thieves. I hope the thief was apprehended and stands for his crime. Use the anger and sadness to move forward even faster and stronger than before.

Sorry to hear of your misfortune. I just purchased an '81 and would be in the market for some seats initially and surely more items later. Color not important.
