Re: 1982 prize

First off, welcome to the boards! Second, post some pics if you can. Third, What kind of maintenance did you do before starting it after 32 years? You really need to change ALL of the fluids and look very carefully at the hoses and belts. Are the tires the original as well?
What are your plans? Would you enjoy driving it? If so, keep it. They are fun cars. Most of all, have fun!

+1 for pics. Sounds cool. I prefer the 82-84 birds.
What kind of racing did he do?
