Bought the car used, and only had it for a total of 6 weeks. I hated it almost from the gate. The choke was very touchy, sorta like my lawn mower!
It was a crappy handler in the rain. Hydroplaned with gay abandon, in Fall rainstorms. Scared the crap outta me a few times!
The cam shaft went on it, $162.000 to repair it. Dealer 'forgot' to re-tension the timing chain. Blew the engine on my ride home from the dealer, after a 2 week wait for parts for the darned car.
Was the worst 6 weeks of ownership. Yuck!
The car was like an enclosed lawn tractor, the cabin was very gloomy and the seats were uncomfortable.
Lets see, 1977, many miles before engine work, dealer made a mistake and you blame the "yuck" car. Comparing this 30 year old car to todays comfortable, "luxurious" interiors, not exactly apples to apples. It was a marvel of engineering for it's day, and a fairly comfortable interior for 1977. Be fair here, the car is 30 years old and gave great service for the owner before you.
