Kristin's Bandit, a Y84, was built at the Norwood plant, the 3rd week of April 1979. Kristin was in 5th grade at the time. Her favorite song that year was Heart of Glass by Blondie. The number one song for 79 was My Sharona by The Knack.
In 1979 Jimmy Carter was president, a stamp cost 15 cents, and a gallon of gas was 86 cents. Major news events of 79 were the 3 Mile Island nuclear accident and the beginning of the Iranian hostage crisis.
Her car has the Olds 403 motor, WS6 suspension, power windows, power door locks,and custom color keyed seatbelts that match the camel tan interior. It also came with a power antenna, and yet was a radio delete car.
Kristin's goals are to get the car painted and get the a/c put back in the car. She's been saying this for a number of years. Someday it will actually happen.
