Wow, thanks for the warm welcome! This board seems to have a really nice amount of traffic. Any enthusiasts out there know that some car boards might only get a few posts a day. This obviously is NOT one of those boards! I have a fundamental problem modding an automatic car, and I also have a fundamental problem dismantling the originality of a clean low mileage vehicle. I've seen what can be done with SC's with the several swap options, and I like what I see! But I'm more the type to just go buy a fast car than spend the time making one fast. Though I do appreciate and respect those that do. The sleeper aspect of an SC giving the business to the other various and sundry rockets out there does get the juices flowing. Reminds me of my old SHO's...nothing like pulling up to a light in a 4 door and giving the business to the Fast and Furious faithful - with groceries in the trunk. And the Riviera was an impulse buy from an older couple. DIRT cheap, decently quick, and uber comfy for my 6'5" 290lb frame. But now it's gotta go!
Nice to know this isnt a popular color. The car came out of FL, I'm in the VA Beach area of VA. I think the color is called Indigo Blue. While I'm at it, I'll show off my two babies just because I like to
My 66 C-10 at the Super Chevy Show:
69 SS427 Impala:
I could inundate you with all kinds of other pictures, but I'll control myself for now! Those two are my absolute pride an joys. Now if I could just find a 4 door 6 speed sedan to replace my Legend....I'll probably go right back "home" to Honda and get a 06-07 EX-L V6 6 speed, but maybe since I stepped out there as a 1st time Lexus buyer, I can go for my 1st Audi....decisions, decisions, nothing like the thrill of the hunt!
As a side note, there was a song by a hip-hop group called Lost Boyz in the mid 90's called "Jeeps, Lex Coupes, Bimaz, Benz." (Though the correct term for a BMW car is Bimmer, but I digress) Took a while, but I finally completed the song. The Lex was the only thing I've never had!

lol completed the set eh?
Well welcome and yes you do have a very nice looking SC there.
I also have a auto, I don't see myself making a change, other than doing maintanance, I've changed couple of bulbs in the interior, currently workin on making the orange side markers clear. I also respect those that go in to tuning up their cars. Making sure my car runs perfect is my priority at the moment.
Again welcome, and get some mats like someone mentioned before lol

Congrats on the find, I had my old SC on craigslist in South Fl Section and saw that one for sale as well...Looks like it was not up for more than 1 week and you bought it! I told my friend about it and he was interested in buying the car but the car was sold when he called, Good Luck on your futire plans for it and that color is beautiful
