Its an awkward looking thing isn't it....I could think of a lot better looking cars from the US from that era that I would rather have.
Lighten up Francis.....

It’s a Ghia body.  Vignale, Pininfarina, and others made them as well.  I would have chosen a Pininfarina.

Two post-worthy blue cars on BaT:

Low-spec (3-speed manual!) Formula, fully restored.



... and a 1980 Rabbit right here in Montreal! Just look at how clean it is!

I like the Rabbit.  There's a guy in my neighbourhood with a Mk.I Rabbit convertible.  It looks like its potentially unrestored, but has been taken care of, as its in pretty good shape.

Looks like a nice one.

Soooo tempted.   Do you know a bit about those GX with the v8.  Does it needs premium or regular.

Premium (91) is "recommended"
