WTB: 5 speed Xr in the NC/SC area

[john keefe]

IDK, based on the engine bay, kinda' looks like the car is an original Regency Red Metallic, with the clear coat starting to go a little in spots. IMHO, can't imagine someone going to all the trouble to pull everything out of the engine bay to spray it to match a new exterior, and then go with that rust-red.

I think you're right about the cladding, handles et al being a later owner-respray. The bumper inserts are red, which would have been the norm for most body colors with the grey cladding, which actually looked OK with that red. If it was a full-on factory monotone paint job, I'd think the inserts would have been black, like on the monotone White. Matter of fact, it would probably look a lot better if you just painted those inserts black.

Agreed, black inserts would look nice, especially with the absence of black door handles, locks, etc.
