its a 1980 sa light blue (cant remember the color name or code)

me too, but I think the original color is a little ... plain, and too green

this is a mix of yellow and green, with tons of pearls

305 grams of paint carried 209 grams of pearls

the colour "plays" a lot with sunlight

I think its great.

I took the pics with a cellphone and they look "washed"

I will take my camera next time and will show you better pics.

yep I got a couple sets of them also, they were marketed as true fender mirrors for savannas but they aren't I still am trying to get the ones i need for my savannas

I love the mach green I have only seen 2 in the US and both were RHD, even though it is an "official 79 color" I have never even heard of one original in the US.

I assume you mean pics of the savannas

here is the 80 automatic new motor body fair shape, no carb interior poor shape


this is a 79 base model nothing special was used as a parts car prior to me getting it


This is a 79 GT it is the best shape of all 3 and I bought it from a junkyard

I saw pics of those a while ago

I wanted to see the mirrors

At least there you have 3 oem ones

Could you please measure the distance between the tip of the fender and the base of the mirror?
