Battery Advice

[CSteve]

I need a new battery for the Coupe. I would like something as original looking as possible. I am tired of looking at the "Interstate" logo. Is Varta still in business? The one in my 1971 1600 lasted six years and died suddenly.

All advice welcome.

Thanks, Steve

No Vartas in the U.S., Exide is the supplier now but it still comes in white from the dealer but it's pricey, about $160. Or remove the interstate logos and go naked.

why not just buy a Bosch from Peps Boys.. I think it is as close to original looking you can get and also be within budget.

Buy one that the label can come off of (unless that Bosch mentioned - that could be cool) - I was also tired of looking at the logo so I pulled all stickers off - now it just looks like some 70's battery.
