Welcome Todd: Post some pictures of your car, when you have the time.
Oh BTW, stay away from Jaunty75. He just might try to convince you that he has a '67 Delta 88 Convertible and that he knows how to spkel.
I've never seen his car once!!! Why is that? He lives only 3 1/2 hours from my place!
I bet he's the kind of man that would live in a cul-de-sac. I wonder what is he trying to hide?
Maybe he's a some kind of freak, like a 'Buckeye Fan' or something?

Very nice car. When it's all polished and detailed I bet that thing pops! The gold interior really looks to be in great shape, and it's a hard color to keep clean. I see it has power options too. You're a lucky guy, the HO's in 79 all got the 350 4bbl. Is that by any chance a 4 speed in that car?

Thanks, it has the original dual gate. A 4 speed would be something different though.

Looks like a very clean & well kept car! I just sold an original dual gate & shifter for a '79. It had a similiar handle. I thought someone added it? & that the original handles were the round black ****?

Welcome to the site.
In the early 70's . I know they are the round black. I think it is the right one for the car . But your making me question myself lol. Cars is all original besides the repaint on the one quarter and filler between trunk and glass.
