JH introduced... (was clean '83 on eBay)

[max at digitaldownpour.com (Max Phillips)]

Amen to that.  I've owned a living example for 6 years now - 1984 mars red wolfsburg edition with a factory JH engine and 4k close ratio transmission.  Also has the big wing, and horribly aged pinstriped seats.  :)  Actually, the back seats and front seat headrests are pristine originals, but 80% of the front seats were reupholstered recently.

She actually turns 20 later this year.  I can't remember the month offhand - I need to check the sticker in the doorjamb.  Anyone in the NH area up for a Rocco birthday party?  She's asking for a set of euro bumpers as a b-day present.  :P
