I am technically the 4th owner of the car, an older lady owned it since new, then turned it over to her son few years ago and he did the engine swap. He then sold the car to the guy I bought the car from who only had it 1.5 years and he did the suspension fast air bags and and frame notching at a professional shop.

This car has been awesome for the short time I've owned it. It is my daily driver and has never broke down on me, the engine has been very reliable. The engine does NOT leak at all, it's in great running shape. The car cruises on the freeway at 70-75 mph no problem, all day, everyday. I usually get around 14-15 mpg between driving around town & highway driving. I just recently did a tune up on it (approx 500 miles ago)... new water pump, new thermostat & housing, new high performance 70 amp alternator, new radiator hoses, new starter, new valve cover gaskets, all new Autolite XP spark plugs, custom Accel plug wires, new distributor cap, new fuel filter, new air filter, Mobil 1 synthetic oil & Lucas oil stabilizer. I've added a few mods of my own including the headlights, taillights, stereo system, new wiring system, wheels & tires, etc.

I had the whole car completely rewired with a new wiring kit & now all electronics, gauges & dash lights work including the original quartz clock, all work with no problems! There is now a modern day fuse box under the dash for ease & convenience to check fuses, NO more shady old school fuse blocks & bare wires!

Clear title, tags are current until December, no smog. All the windows roll up/down with ease, all electronics work. All 6 seatbelts are there & work. The body and frame are straight, no body work is all done mostly and pretty much ready for paint if you desire. Otherwise the current satin black gives it the rat rod look.

There is a folder full of receipts & maintenance records from the previous owners that I'm waiting to receive from the last owner, soon.
