An FMX? Really?
What's with the red light thing someone hacked into the dash trim?
Nice that it has the proper number of mirrors ... a lot of '79s we see for sale have only one.2012 Mazda5 Touring | Finally working on the LTD again!

Looks rough but at least it's a true 79. Love the stock manifolds and plug wires hanging on them. The gauge wiring looks great also. Very high quality hack job.Builder/Owner of Badass Panther Wagons

The red LED most likely goes with the alarm modules on the keys. The Landau lights and such were most likely removed when they got it painted. Which sucks, they should have left them all original. Perhaps one was damaged and they couldn't find a replacement? And that wiring IS hideous and needs to be cleaned up and properly tied. That underhood would greatly benefit from a little elbow grease and cleaner.sigpic

wow... even the hack wiring in my 88 is better than that! And I don't really give a rats about that wiring, as long as it works.

LTD Landau had coach lights?
And why would someone add an alarm to a car that's bone-stock except for the chrome air cleaner and valvecovers?2012 Mazda5 Touring | Finally working on the LTD again!

not coach lights - the Landau had some cool unique-to-79 Landau lights on the outside C-pillar.Pete ::::>>> resident LED addict and CFI defector LED bulb replacements

Probably mainly for keyless entry and remote trunk pop. Way back when on my 89 MGM I wanted those things and it was only a few bucks more for an alarm (that did all that) so I went for the alarm.Originally posted by 1987cp View Post2020 Volvo XC90 T6 Momentum (Ice White / Blonde)

personally, I don't worry about people taking my car, I worry about people taking the stuff in my car (or that they think is in my car).Originally posted by 1987cp View Post
It's too bad, if they had just left it unmolested and original it would be about as good an example of the breed as exists, pathetic drivetrain aside.

Oh, I know what you're talking about. I just hadn't known those were lights!Originally posted by 85crownHPP View Post
Oh, weird. Though admittedly, people sometimes seem to get confused these days when I ask them to lock my doors manually, so I could see remotey silliness being handy if you carry a lot of yuppies who think everything has to have remote locks. And my mother-in-law's new Kia doesn't even have a way to open the trunk manually from the outside - no keyhole, no nothing!Originally posted by tjc78 View Post
