thanks PrimeraMan,
she's my pride and joy.
If I didn't have the bird, I'd have the money to drop a DET in the g20. ( and probably enough time to get a doctorate in aqstrophysics.)
As for how many of these little birds are left, I was surprised how many are still around. There were about 45,000 made for the 55-57 model years. I'd say more than half are still around, and most of those in as good or better condition than mine.
Another interesting note, it's about as easy to find aftermarket (and original) parts for this car as it is to find aftermarket stuff for the G20.
