Its very nice looking but the nose isnt an 82 front bumper, side vents or hood, did it get a 73 to 79 clip?

82 with a 4 speed? I suppose it could’ve been added at some point. Nice looking car.

1982 horn button. Story checks out. It's a very nifty car with all of the best features of the vinyl bumper era. Please drive the hell out of it, and post more pictures!
