The transmission lines rubbed together and made a hole. It was easy to fix though. And my starter is dying, but it is like 21 years old.
You can bag the hell out of this car and it won't die. It has a lot of power and runs great.
I had a 79 Ghia with the inline 6, it had no power and a very dull finish on it, but it would never die & was so easy to repair. I miss it some times.
I also have a 1979 Ghia mustang and it has been garaged for the last 12 years. This last summer I put in a new carburetor on it and it runs almost like a dream. I also got it painted and hope to show it this summer. It is a really nice looking car, not bad for being 25 years old this year and its been in the family for the past 20 of those years.
