If you like the way it looks, no problem. It is not stock, rather modified. Some of the headlights motor burned out or were sticky. Some people elected to glass in the retractable headlights and place running lights in the grill. In California there is a height requirement for headlights and these do not fill the requirements bty. The fin in the back is either an after-market add on, or someone handy with glass work made it. LIKE I SAID, IF YOU LIKE THE LOOKS, ENJOY IT.

I have an issue with my odometer. My title says "Not Actual Mileage" and the person I bought it from said there were about 125K miles on it, but only 6500 show. When I ran a Carfax, it appears that a couple years ago it said 125K but evidently the computer was reset or the odometer was changed and not set correctly. How do I know the true value of my car?
