Exactly! Good eye. I am a base model guy, more rare that way... 1 of 1 ordered that way according to the Ford Registry. This one has 68K original miles. Just got a lot of little things to straighten out to get it 100%

I never could have guessed what it is, but I love anything with slotted rims.
Nice find.

She waddled and hobble around and you could see her coming for miles in or out of her car, but that thing was parked front and center every day. Same color but I think hers was a stick.
