Well guys, I've finally managed to acquire a four-door! Hearing that our pal Greg (torquelover) was thinking about selling his black '87 P72 affectionately nicknamed "The POS" got the mental gears turning, and doggone if I didn't manage to buy the thing. I sent him a check last week, and rode the train out on Saturday and drove the car back yesterday (Wed, 9/10). Turns out I was able to stop by my local Secretary of State office on the way home and applied for a Michigan title and transferred the plate from the '81 two-door that's been sitting in the garage for seeming decades. So far I haven't done much with the car, just some minor electrical tinkering and peeling off some of the window tint.
Current details on the car, as I can remember them:
Body - stock, slicktop
Suspension - stock, police package
Interior - stock, base model/police with 140mph speedo and nonadjustable bucket seats
