here is my 87.. it has been repainted to stock colors but the stripe that goes at the bottom (where the red/silver meet)is changed... it used to be orange/black now it is gray



BTW, that is condensation on the paint (it was a cold morning when i took the pics)

I like the way the car looks with the older style wheels,looks really unique
Why the bird is on the hood instead of the bumper ?
