General comments?
I bought this car from a man in Phoenix, AZ for 100$ it was in very bad shape with all the problems listed above. But with a great frame and interior.
I found a shop and put about 1,500$ into this car and since then it has given me no problems I have driven it every place and even pulled a trailer.
These cars are very comfortable inside and drive like a dream. These cars are also very dependable in the winter and summer.
I would have to say other than the Riviera these are one of the most attractive cars of the time.
I love this car and I doubt I will ever sell it.
