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.
