way too blue
About this Current Vehicle:
This ranchero originally sold in San jose California and was brought to southern New York in 2001. It was registered for 1 year and then not driven again. Sometime , somewhere, somebody decided the original gold color with black vinyl top and squire trim was unattractive , so they bought many spray cans of boring blue paint and painted everything!!! woodgrain, moldings and all. well. I'll give it my best shot and see what happens! Tim O
