Welcome Nick to PY. Nice ride also like the color. B5 is a favorite with the Mopar crowd, it's from the early 70's and reintroduced a few years ago. I think it looks good on anything!

Welcome. You did it right: get the prep & paint done and running, then do the remaining part replacements.

For the most part, I am the 3rd owner of the car, but the engine code is out of a 72 and not sure where the trans is out of( could be stock) the I have an edelbrock manifold and carb, as well as a mild RB cam in it.
