I prefer the black on this particular car. Gives it a sinister look.

It was Red Interior also.
Red Red White would have been a real eye catcher.

The seat covers look extremely cheap and flat.
How many companies make 70 Deluxe seat covers now ?

I "think" the washed out seat cover look "could" be LED super white lights.

Nice car. Are those aftermarket Honeycombs? Something looks different about them.

Yep - 17 inch aftermarket versions. The car does come with 15 inch Honeycombs as well.

Thought that one would go higher. Not sure what put the bidders off as all of the mods were reversible and it even came with a set of stock wheels.

I have a bad feeling about the market in general - at least if the prices start to come back to earth the hobbyists win vs the investors...

I like the read the comments section on there - altho there is a ton of kooks there is some interesting knowledge - even Rocky shows up once and awhile...

What does he mean by this:

the ratchet shifter is handy, and makes you push up AND to the right, to change gears. In my SD, you have to know…in the 69 RAIV, the right side of the shifter console was labeled 1,2,3 !!![/I][/I]

Is the stock shifter supposed to ratchet? If so, is it the same shifter in a y-code?

Ratchet shifter is fairly common.
