Thank you guys for the warm welcome. Those pics are actually the pics from the craigslist ad and make the car look a tad better than reality. The gauges do look like Camaro but they look right at home in the car, so I think I'll keep them. It does still have the four speed in it, but the shifter was changed for a Hurst unit in the 1990's. I will get some more representative pictures up soon.
I wish I could say I bought the car from the original owner but I think I'm like number 6 or 7. I have 23 years of registrations from the original owner, looks like he sold it in 1990, then some registrations, bills of sale and a title copy for the next three or four, then a gap between 1999 and 2006 and then again from 2007-2012 when the guy I bought it from purchased it. He gave me all the records almost as an afterthought - as if they weren't worth anything! In case anyone is interested here's the options list from the sales order from Eastway Buick-Pontiac in North Bend, WA (TEL TU 8-0612) Power Top # 544 Custom Trim #554 Lamp Group #074 Sprint Option #332 Radio #342 Rear Antenna # 341 Console #472 Door Edge Guard #382 Rear Seat, Folding #654 Power Steering #501 Sport Steering Wheel #471 Rally II wheels #453 4 Speed Trans #77F Gearshift Knob #524 It also specifies undercoat, no stripe, regular spare tire. The original owner got a 4-1/2% loan rate and his payments were 118.53 per month.
