Eric,
Welcome - hope you get a car!
One note - I notice you want a chrome bumper with negative ground. The
prior years with positive ground are easily converted - you just have to
flip the coil and I think the starter (but someone will correct me if I"m
wrong, which is likely) but it's not much to convert them, so if you really
want negative ground but personally like the earlier models, there's no
need to limit yourself just for electrical reasons.
