Was:FF vs FO tranny, now: 70's mods

[roccit_53 at hotmail.com (C Boyko)]

Okay, now here's one for you, if you remember 1979. What were the hot 
modifications in 1979? I'm giving consideration to restoring Klaus to 
original/upgraded condition, and would like to know what the "vintage 
appropriate" mods were. (aesthetic and performance) Anyone got links to 
articles from the day? Just curious. WAS there even an aftermarket for these 
cars back then? There sure was for muscle cars. Just curious.
