32 days after I bought it, (1 after 30 day warranty expired) the engine blew due to a water jacket leak. This was a 1600$ repair/ block replacement job.
Front right brake piston crumbled at about 165000 km. These are Kelsey-Hayes and piston was made of bakelight material. Fixed this myself for about 100$.
Speedometer gauge stopped working due to a flat spot on the gear in the transmission, 25$ at a wreckers to replace.
Dash lights are now working intermittently, a loose wire that needs to be tracked down.
This car runs well especially on the highway where I get approximately 100km/7L.
This beast also loves to eat rice-boy cars from light to light.
Its been more costly than I anticipated,4000$ purchase and over 2000$ spent so far. but should be more economical to run this year. Because I couldn't afford to do the engine right away it sat for 8 months before I could afford the new block.
Rice boy cars? Who are you, Don Rickles?
So far its OK. just a starter and an alternator. likes to show up kids.
