The story

Bought it from a younger guy and we de-pimped it. That guy or the guy before him had real duals custom bent front to back in stainless, including two mirror like stainless Zoomie mufflers and tailpipes that dang near touched the tank. Replaced the illegal (in our Province) exhaust system and de-tinted the windows and gave away the window rain lips. Traded the American TorqueThrust wheels to a guy restoring an AMX. In return he gave me 4 Mirada CMX Chrysler wheels and did all the work required to safety the car (good deal all round). — Sixlitre
