Rick: 1. The styling, particularly, the tail lights (sorta like the SB
Tiger) the tear drop in the hood (hint of power) and the instrument and
control panel.
2. Stamped aluminum grill (Yuck!)
3. Look for excessive rust under the carpeting at the front of
floors and fire walls, the lower part of inside taillight housings and
rocker panels.
