Wow, those tires make it look really good already! I'm really looking forward to seeing this one all painted out as I love that one in the ad. Seems like these 80's macho are really rare and tuff to find as I dont see any when looking for macho's.

Is 1980 the first year of power windows in those machines? Power locks started in '79 right?
