Hello everyone.
New member here from Airdrie Alberta.
I just bought a 79 L48 with 47K Kilometers(28K Miles).
White paint and blue interior,, PW, Air Cond, Tilt/Tele.
All original, owned by 2 women, both over 50.
Still has the original tires on it.
Parked in 2003.
Well maintained, amazing condition!
It should be arriving at my house Tues/Weds!
I'm sure I'll have some questions for the members here.
I'd like to keep it as original as possible,, it won't take much!
I need new intake hose/ducts, hood insulation, parking brake fixed and a new plastic center air intake,,,, and new tires!
I'm quite excited about the car,, and finding this forum!
Take care, drive safe,, talk to y'all later!.
David.
