Like Tim's coupe "Gilbert". I just have something for that orginal white/cream, probably becasue of the first 2 coupes I bought one was red the other cream. The red one was really faded hence the cream "looked better". Turns out it had more rust and bog than the red one. 
P.S. Does Gilbert still exist, if so any changes or updates?
Actually, the car was called Gil. I'm not sure where John got the "bert" part when he posted those pictures, but I digress.
Gil became Mini-Pearl when I started to put a Z-20 and automatic in it for my mom. It became Gilligan (Gil, again) when I bought the car above for her, it already had an automatic. Gilligan was in the process of having the turbo A-12 put in it when a guy came to the shop wanting to buy a 1200. I quoted him a price I thought was high but one I could accept if he went for it. He went for it.

It now has had the blasphemy of a Mitsubishi 2.6 turbo engine installed in it. I have seen it once since then, but not on the road. So, there you have it. The story of Gil/Mini-Pearl/Gilligan.
