Replaced the gas lines because it leaked fuel.
Repaired the engine coolant line because it leaked coolant.
Leaks oil.
Weather stripping is worn out.
Trunk lock needs to be replaced.
Cracks in the fiberglass parts of the body.
Overall this has been a great really reliable and oh so very rare car.
It always starts for me, but gives me a hard time when the engine is cold. But I can't really blame her, the engine itself probably has in the neighborhood of 350,000 kilometers on it. Once it is warmed up its OK.
This car is lacking in power since its from the 80's, but has enough guts to get up to speed and the loud engine sound alone turns a lot of heads.
What I like the most about this car is its 10 spoke wheels and "gills" on the sides. This car stands out from other cars with its overall unique look and nice lines people notice this car.
The Mirada has been great to me and very reliable in the time I have had it. The only draw back is that it has terrible fuel economy, but that's what you get when you got a V8. She embarrasses me when she stalls, but she has been a good old girl who is in really good shape. Before I bought it, it hadn't been driven in about 6 years and sat in a garage.
Again with the gills. Haven't you already posted a review here of this boat? Apparently there is no "one review per car limit" here. Can I write multiple reviews of the same car too?

People are not supposed to submit multiple reviews of the same car. I have looked at the other Mirada reviews in detail, and while there are some similarities between the two most recent reviews, there are significant differences too, and the reviews don't appear to have been submitted by the same person (for example, the two reviews did not come from the same Internet connection).
