Sorry to hear that. My '82 was my baby and it got rear ended at the end of May and was totalled .

I always noticed your sig and thought how cool it was to have two red T/A's.

Damn man, sorry for your loss.

It looks like I'm going to be keeping mine off the road for a while, as there seems to be a bad aura around third gens.

I take it from the houses you're in the Inwood out in thr Rockaways, not upper Manh (only 2 Inwoods I know)?

Anyway whatever is still good of the grey plastic trim in the back (spare tire area, locking compartment), I'm interested.
