Rebuilt transmission (partially my fault, let clutch go and burnt gears out, whoops, LOL).
Headlight relay and motor.
Clutch (see above... just age and mileage).
Computer electronic spark/ignition module thing.
Electronic speed sensor (I ran over a big rock which knocked it off).
Engine has nearly 250,000 kms now, runs strong, idles a tad off though (V6s do that eventually) so I had to raise the idle speed slightly so it didn't dip down to the stall range... fixed the problem perfectly, I can drive this still like a sports car and it doesn't complain!
For the age and mileage it runs phenomenally. Still has decent peeformance (for what it is), gets good gas mileage, and don't really have many/any unexpected problems popping up.
The looks on this car are awesome, it's still hard for me to find cars I like aesthetically better.
Fun car to drive, I like the 'feel' of this car much more than other comparable cars I have driven.
Note about the dealer marks, I don't get work done at dealerships, why don't I just flush my money down the toilet, heh.
If I had to redo it I would get a Trans Am (GTA) because of the increased power.
I have the exact same engine in my 87 'Bird - I have changed the ignition module about 4 times now - it fails every 5 months or so!! Have had the car for 3 years. Worth it though, definitely.
