Hey Bill,
Very very nice car! The Skyhawk I sold a few weeks ago was in very similar condition. You have an A/C car which is also is a plus. Best of luck. I say keep it the way it is they are only original once and this one was in a time capsule!
Goes to show you that when a car taken care of, it will will last!

Hi John,

Timing was a little off on the Skyhawk, glad I found this one after you sold yours. Thanks for all the pictures!

I think I saw this car on craigslist a long time ago. Nice to see an enthusiast bought it.

I found this car on Craigslist just south of St. Louis, MO. I'm up in the air about what I want to do with it but I want to add a rear spoiler and a rear sway bar first. It does need tires as these are kinda dry rotted.

Thanks,
Bill
