This one had a four speed MT, which I took.  The exterior was a pale yellow,
not the original paint.  The interior was yellow/beige/brown.
   It had once been airconditioned, aftermarket I assume.  I took the
evaporator and its rear overhead cabinet.  The condenser from up front had
apparently been removed some years earlier.  The compressor looked rather
strange to me; like a traditional air compressor with vertical cylinder(s).

  I may be able to use the evaporator and controls in an '83 1/2 Westy I
recently bought if I put a Subie engine in it.  I haven't really yet
evaluated the the 1.9 that's in it now.
