1978 GMC Jimmy sierra review from North America
"Big, loud and scary is a recipe for a lot of fun"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Everything.
It has rust everywhere with a hole in the floor.
It has a broken speedometer and odometer.
The engine and transmission were weak so they were replaced with low mileage junk yard parts.
General comments?
It has a lift kit and 33" tires.
It has a glasspack muffler.
It has some bondo and spraypaint on the body.
It is a handful to drive, but sounds great.
During its life it was a plow truck, a landscaping truck and used to commute as well.
