"The best Investment"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Several things have gone wrong with the car, but they were all addressed at once.
I have replaced the starter.
solenoid
Ground wire.
Rebuilt the carburetor.
New tires.
Wheel alignment.
New brake pads.
New brake lines.
New master cylinder.
New belts.
New battery.
New rubber hoses.
New air intake filter.
All new windows and I mean all.
New drive shaft.
New transmission.
And a few oil changes.
General comments?
This is the most luxurious, reliable, smooth rideing, driving car of all time.
When I first got the car I paid a 1,000 for it, and it was worth it for the body condition, min. scratches, no dents.
The car went under a mechanical restoration. after Blowing about $800.00 on fixing it up and I did all the mechanics my self at one time.
The car has had no problems with it what so ever after I replaced all that.
The car is now in almost mint condition and I drive it every day.
