When I get moved I'm hoping I can find one just as nice..Bucket List Baby!!

It was a turquoise two-tone, all the rage back in the early '60's:

Ain't that supposed to have a propeller on the back?!?

There was a propeller model. And a convertible.

But I always liked the hardtop best, looks just like an FC only 30 years earlier and lots more character.

I spend more time surfing CList then is probably healthy but Thought this one was interesting. Never cared for rx7 red/orange stock color but this guy picked a good red for a SE. This one in Long Island. Not unrealistic asking price. Little rough interior and don't care for wheels but nice for price

Yikes.

The good news is you could roll it backwards to save a tow bill.

I like Paul's find a whole lot better, might even get $20 for the bra on ebay, which would be a big improvement:

You will since I intend to hunt down everyone of you OGTA rotary lug nuts and show it off.! Moving Savannah way soon. Leaving the land of the "long storage winters" to a place I can drive it most of the time. Took it out yesterday. Damn it runs good..!! Nothing like a strong NA!

I still have both bras one from my 84se (white lettering) and the one that came with my 85 (lettering is imprinted and inset) I don't let her wear them but I got them in case..

A good idea north of the Mason Dixon line, but you won't need them down here.

They just look strange for some reason, it seems to me...

Ha ha!!! Good one ray!! And that's about exactly why I don't put them on ever. In the day I used to till one night I got lazy when one headlight flap popped back on the hood and flapped all the way home. Looked like somebody masked off a square and lightly sandblasted the paint.. Never used it again. That was 1989

Glad you posted the Metropolitan pic Greg, at first I thought you were talking about the black leather bra.

Paul the black FD deserves a seat at the table. The others, not so much.

I went with a plasti-dip bra, never comes loose and hides all the blemishes too.

So you think my car looks funny Ray? At least its running! Ouch!

Mr tools I know of a black convertible that just needs love and a turbo swap is for sale. You might even see it in person when you get to this area

They liked it. They just wanted to keep it for themselves.
