[all about special models] - California edition rocco???

[jtoomasson at yahoo.com (Jeff Toomasson)]

No, my car is an '83 and as far as I know, there weren't any '84's (at
least, I haven't seen any). I guess they could have been manufactured over
the "hump" (New Year)...

Andrew Wong is on Vortex a lot. I'll try to track him down there.

Thanks!

Jeff
