Title: 1979 Macho #26
Post by: Dreamn2 on December 23, 2022, 10:44:01 AM
I have been working to restore this Macho I purchased last year. It was originally brown and gold but due to the inability to get the Hobnail interior without a year wait, I chose to change it to Black and gold with a black interior. It is a 403/Auto car with a rare dealer installed Power Moonroof. I just got it back from paint a couple of weeks ago so now I am starting the slow process of putting the interior back together.

Wow, is all I can say, wasn't sure how "black" was going to turn out but it looks good.

The Choc-Caramel Edition would have looked good too, different at least.
