Great input!

I didn't realize that the air bag was certified for 15 years only. Last week I was at my mechanic's shop and he showed me his next major project - an '86 300E rebuild. The car hit a telephone pole head on and you guessed it - the air bag did not deploy. He noted that the SRS system showed Fortunately, all three passengers exited without a scratch. The insurance company wrote the car off but since the owner "loves her baby", the car will be rebuilt.

John, I really like the looks of your '87. Maybe removing the Grand Prix and adding a nice CD player, and then new updated rims (as suggested) would do the trick. The wheels on the '86 are in great shape... much better that the ones on my '88. Heck, maybe I will move those to my car! I think I'm being sold!!

Thanks all for the responses, the reassurance was needed.

Paul
