Mine is Cardinalrod Metallic, but the original owners had the whole car
repainted when they had some damage repaired, and it came out dark
nonmetallic burgundy, which was horribly checked by the time I bought it
in 1984. They refused to disclose who did the horrible paint work. By the
end of the 1980s it was starting to peel off, revealing the cardinal red
below. But by the end of the 1980s, the trunk was so rusty one of the gas
tank holding straps fell off.

Mine did not have that problem. My, but that car was fun to drive!

It was a red ticket magnet.

What about the lower front shock mounts on the control arms?
I broke one, ruining a Bilstein shock in the process, got both
welded/reinforced, then rebroke the broken one again within a month, about
exactly the time my right rear upper tower gave out. And I lived on a dirt
road back then.
