    Looks nice. I'm holding out for one with F.I. and the right color/options.

    The early examples of that body-style don't come by too often it seems.

    Ask any Ford mechanic from the time, and they will tell you to go for the carbureted engine every time. The compression was higher, so the fuel economy and performance are better than the fuel injected ones. The body on this one looks solid. Fuel injection can be added for about $2,000 from Edelbrock, and is a simple bolt on with the Performer intake. Add a good dual 2 1/4 inch exhaust, and you are looking at Honda Civic fuel economy on the highway.
