I can't find one in that condition for anything less than $1500 here in the PNW... You scored! Does it have a title?

I'm running 31s with a 20r with an l43 (side shift) tranby and i believe the 4.7 gearing what can I do to get more speed (it's a dd) but keep a good balance in power and speed? Any suggestions I'm open minded

Here is an "artsy" picture of my 79 when i was in high school. I sold it back in 98, big mistake. I'll try to get a picture of my 83 in a couple of days. Once you own a 1st gen, there is nothing else like it.

It was white with a black lower. I never bothered to search what the OEM color was. It was a repaint at some point.
