The story

Had 70K original miles until a few years ago, I'm the third owner. It's green inside and out except for a few bits that had to be replaced and couldn't be done in the original color (for cheap that is) so it has a blue headliner, carpet, glovebox door, and armrests. It also has tan visors. — Alan Moore
