Default just one more enjoyable moment to share

so i bought the 2nd 1984 car last october, (the car with the consecutive vin to mine). I finally had it delivered and it arrived yesterday. Naturally no buildsheet to be found even though it appears the car has never had the carpet, or rear sail panels out of the car. Well the cert speedo is missing so I resort to research mode again. I call the guy I bought it from and get the email address from the guy he bought it from, contact that guy and he gives me the name and phone number of the guy that has THE cluster in a car that is currently listed on craigs list in Olympia WA. So I call that guy and he agreed to removing the cluster and shipping it to me first of the week. I had to send him a replacement gt cluster I had in the shop and include some $$ but I am getting the correct original cluster with the correct mileage range to put back to put in the car. Along the way I am asking other questions of the previous owners and I am hearing this car was an unmarked supv car for OSP. I need to keep going back in time to try and verify that info. I have the interior stripped out of it though and it appears to have had only one antenna in the right rear quarter by the deck lid, no spotlights, police radio mounted in the enlarged factory stero hole, no holes ever in the roof, one microphone attached to the console delete bezel, one power wire ran to the passenger sunvisor area and mounting holes for some sort of light i imagine. The car was not equipped with a rollbar. The best part about the car is the options. tilt wheel, cruise, charcoal interior, manual windows and locks, one key locking, ac, no rear defrost, and best of all the paint code is 5C which is Dark Academy Blue metallic. The car still has the original trans, and rear end complete with tags and other than underneath the deck lid this car is rust free. The driver door has been changed and the drivers side fender has been replaced. The roof is damaged and the hood is a replacement but over all the car will restore very nicely. I am psyched about the dark blue paint !!
