sweet 75 mk1 in MI for CHEAP! (another addition to the stable!)

[jtoomasson at yahoo.com (Jeff Toomasson)]

Holy sh*tballs - what a clean Mk1 from the north!! You should go buy some
lottery tickets, Mark!  :D

Nice find and keep the color BTW (maybe not the true stock color (looks
maybe too much like a pumpkin! :), but maybe something along the lines of
Jagermeister orange.

Here's a p-chop of Mike Blain's car I had Tobias make for me when I was
considering colors.
