Photos of the new black paint. This is an original TX9 car. I found the original bill of sale in the car, and it appears to have been ordered. It's got two fender tags of options, but has the column shift and buddy seat with armrest, which I find unusual. Optioned strange, but does have the Tuff wheel.
I left the vents on the front fenders shiny just so they get noticed. I think it looks good.
I had 265/50-14 Radial T/A's on the back but they were too low, so I put some M/T L-60's on. They're taller and wider but they're bias ply. Wide 14" rubber is hard to come by nowadays. I'm putting taller tires on the front, the T/A's on there will come off soon.
It's fun to drive around slow with the roof out and the windows down. The car sure attracts attention, and the ride is smooth. I love it.

A Mirada page. I love it. I own a 82 Mirada, second time around. It is an original 318 car. I have picked up a 360 for it. Right now I am trying to fit a 408 stroker build into my budget. You have a nice looking machine. I love the rear wheel wells filled with rubber. Anybody know where I can get new seals for my T-tops.
