I had to retake the picture because you couldn't see the rims well enough to see that it actually had tires!

Thanks!

It's actually a 1980. Built in August of '79. Round beams must be from early in the model year. Built in Canada.

Price was even more awesome, and the road trip back was great. Ran flawlessly, weather was perfect.

Awesome!

Always like hearing about road trips in a newly purchased older vehicle!

Any issues on the way?

Just one. 30 miles west of Amarillo I had to remove the fuel filter from the carb. ( the one inside ). Other than that it drove great. Burned one quart of oil in just over 1700 miles. Not bad in my opinion considering it has 191,000 miles. 305/ 700R4 no factory a/c. Rust free, no dents. A real cream puff for 2800 bucks !
