Congrats on your new toy. The center console would be cool to throw a nice stereo in. Looks like it already has the speaker cut outs on the side.
I once dated a girl in High School and her Father told me I would never amount to anything. He was right!

Spotted this myself.
That was an old super sport.
Originally it would have had back to back seating and a screen.
