Now the next question is........

Well Brad,
I do like the look of no lights. But it does look like mine had SOMETHING there... Until I find out I may just leave them off as that would be more correct than the wrong lights... Who knows this could even be my contacts old car??? Hopefully he can find his old unit #'s...

Yea I'm diffinately digging the cleaner look of the Atlanta car! I'm so hoping this turns out to be my car:-) It's looking like it very well could be... With the dash light holes in it...

Made my rounds to North ; East and South Atlanta Pull-a-Parts. Scored a pair of mirrors; pair of drip rail mouldings; rear window mouldings; quarter glass mouldings; pair of black rocker mouldings; most of the body mouldings & a radio wood grain trim! Several of the hard to find peices for the 83 :-)

Got my issue of Popular Mechanics July 1984 today. The bumper lights on the 83's definitely had square housings and round bulbs. They appear to be recessed into housing and bulb possibly seems to be extended.

Update on the 83.
Not much but I have discovered the lights used were YANKEE lights and I did find a pair on elightbars. They were the chrome versions though so I had them sand blasted and powder coated satin black.

Only other thing is I found out it's Perm # is 3083 and it was driven by retired Captain Carlton Stallings badge # 99.

I'm getting really close to finishing my 92 and I will be tackling this one next...
