My grandfather had a '79 in orange that was babied like no other vehicle I've seen. When he died in 93 it only had around 60,000 km and was absolutely mint. At the time neither my brother or I had any interest in it and it was sold. I still kick myselfMy favorite though was:
1978 International Scout II 304v8 2bbl,automatic,4wd,3:07 gearing.Bought it in 1983.It was comfortable,had a/c .Light-pale yellow with custom black and gray pinstripes and accent panels,black carpet ,the best bucket seats I've had in a vehicle.I put a nice stereo,equalizer w/ 6x9 and 5 inch speakers in it.It had good road manners and was fairly fast(115-120 mph was my fastest in it and I backed off the gas 'cause it had started "floating") was pretty good off road.With 31 inch mudgrips it got 15 mpg around town,19 mpg on the hwy.With 225'size street tires the hwy mpg went up to 22 or so.
