the best of the best at a time where luxury was not on the top of

day. WIth the advantage of fuel injection it produces around 225HP
which in 1980 waqs almost unheard of. The masculine square body
style demands attention wherever you go especially with this
meticulously maintained all original beauty.This particular example
is finished in gold which has all the rage in 1980. The interior is

feels luxurious and comfortable making it ideal for a long
roadtrip. This car has been beautifully preserved and maintained
