Re: 1982 GTV-6 color combos

[Thomas Washburn <thomasw@xxxxxxxxxx>]

FWIW, I know of several charcoal exterior/blue interior 1982 
GTV-6s, including my own.  This is certainly a factory color
combination.

And unlike nearly everybody else, I think early GTV-6s are
better than late ones, for many reasons including these:

  1. Classy one-tone paint jobs
  2. No fussy side-cladding
  3. No fussy plastic thing between the taillamps
  4. Last-forever torsion bar subframe
  5. High-geared final drive
  6. Super-communicative feel-the-synchros-working shift
     linkage.  The Isostatic was the rubbery one.  Everybody
     gets that backwards!
  7. More comfortable seats
  8. Good-looking early Campagnolo wheels
  9. Air conditioning system is easier to remove
  10. Nicer interior detailing -- window switches, door
      panels, fan speed selector, hand throttle, etc.

I will concede that those blue dashboards and 85MPH speedos
were a bit unfortunate.
