I incorrectly state that the 'head gasket' has a small leak. It should read as follows:

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 ???
