Nice car! I have an 89 300SE and love it. Yours will be just right with the V8. Mine has the same body color but with the dark brown interior. I do love that color on the outside as it does not show dirt bad. Its nice for carting around the family as well. I have 2 boys as well and we have room for all the stuff in the trunk and inside. Enjoy and I hope the AC works!
