Even though most people smoked during this time period, the previous owners did not smoke and the inside smelled like a new car from the dealer. The body was white and the interior was almost brand new. But, as teenagers, it did not matter what it looked like in the beginning, the most fun part of owning a car was ahead of us. It was driven with care and was a surprising purchase since it was only a couple of years old. It was a 3 speed stick, had stock everything and looked like it came off the showroom floor.
