Due to fading and roof rusting, paid Earl Scheib repaint the car for $299.00 -153,000 (greatly improved the appearance).

Replaced the front motor mount at 155,000 miles.

Everything on this car is functional including the rear windshield defogger and rear washer and wiper.

This car is seriously quick.

This car is very reliable.

This car has great cargo carrying capacity.

However the drivers and passenger side windows are difficult to raise if the window is completely lowered, as the result of the front doors worn regulators.

The upholstery great and has no rips or tears.

However the driver's side carpet is worn.

Within the past 3000 miles, when the car is in gear and idling at a complete stop, there is a pronounced vibration that shakes the entire car and rattles the windows, but otherwise smooth when accelerating or running in traffic.
