You can say s-1 or mk1....same deal....as for the old roccos...think first
year was 75?(correct me here guys)....the 75,6,7's had the turn signals
soley in the grill(little square side markers on fender)...in 78 they had
wraparound from grill to side...kinda like that better...as for a good
year..if you plan on getting one and dropping a better engine in, I
recommend a 79, as when they were manufactured they ran on *leaded* gas,
which equals no catalitic converter! Major cost avoidance when replacing
exhaust....and some say increased power......I dunno, the emissions guys
gave me s**t, but what was orginally on the car goes!


Eric
79...ripped to pieces...looks interesting with no seats, dash, ect..
80...project is coming together! Engine to be in soon, liscence back in
less than a month!!!!(thank GOD!)
