Hey! I had one of those. It was a "Custom Royal Lancer". Mine was a

but I think the engine was called a super red ram rocket, or something
along those lines. It was a hemi, and hauled ass. It was a pretty
plush ride for those days.
Mine was also a "Custom Royal Lancer" but was a hardtop, not a convertible.
Looked like this, except for the color.
(it was cream top, dark blue hood and trunk and sky blue side panels)

And after rebuilding it for me, my father had it painted my mother's
favorite colors, "tangerine" on the bottom and "cream" on the top. It

My first car was a Lime Green Volkswagon with a phony black box and a
big wind up key on the back deck, stock from the factory... Before
that I drove street bikes...

Sorry, my Willys was uglier. But it did get me to school and back, and
"other" things.- Hide quoted text -

No mine was sweet, had less than a thousand miles when I bought it
from a freind of my dad's who ran a VW dealership...
