CORRECTION:

I incorrectly state that the 'head gasket' has a small leak. It should read as follows:
Valve cover has small leak (quart of oil every 3rd or 4th month if used as primary vehicle - no smoke)

Conn cars were blue unless there were some different colors I never saw. You would need 15K or more to restore it. Just not worth it unfortunately

I found this on the web. I have seen a poster with a red Mustang sitting across from a Buick Grand National. Check out the Mazda! SWEET!!! There are not too many pictures of Conn SSP's ???

Outstanding picture, If you could add that to the in service pictures section it would be the only one for conn. I shall use it for my screen saver. thanks

Great pic Jack...thanks for posting.
