General Comments:

Did an entire tune-up which wasn't to expensive, until I had to buy the Coil as well.

Have purchased a rebuild kit for the Carburetor, but need a breaker bar and a strong man to break the fuel line loose before that gets fixed.

Interior is not in bad shape, and all in all a great bargain for the $300 I paid for it.

She rides very smooth, and the seats are very comfortable.

Faults:

The air conditioning needed to be completely replaced.

The transmission required repair to fix a faulty reverse gear.

Rear drums and shoes required replacement.

General Comments:

I remember driving this car with friends in high school and loving every moment. When the time came to buy a winter car, I managed to find one in a rural community. It was in perfect condition and owned by a former GM factory employee. This car looks like it is brand new and runs especially well considering its age and mileage.

It easily passed a government inspection and emissions test.

After some repairs due to age, the car is back on the road and running well.

It has a lot of room, is extremely durable and very cheap to repair.

Don't use the dealer as any good mechanic can keep it in tip top shape for a very low price.

While most of these cars have the V8, mine is equipped with the base V6. The V6 would not be my first choice as it lacks the power of the big V8s. It's advantage, though, lies in the electronic fuel injection instead of an old carburator.

If you can find one of these cars in good condition, buy it. They are fun to drive, very practical, cheap to run and amazingly durable.

Only major downside is the poor fuel economy.

Faults:

Brakes failed. Brake lines had to be replaced.

Starting to rust on right side in the back.

Starting to smoke from Engine. Mechanic says engine needs to be replaced or consider junking the car.

Starter replaced twice, last rebuilt starter put in still going strong!

Paper (wood) siding has almost all completely peeled off.

General Comments:

The car is very comfortable, seats are wide, It can seat 9 people.

Old as it is the car still runs great, except for smoke from the engine.

Car drives well. Gears work fine, lights, systems monitor all still working.

Lights, brake lights, hazard lights all work.

Faults:

Automatic locks

Automatic driver's window

Water pump

Valve covers

None of these under 100,000 miles

I broke the passenger outer mirror off pulling into the garage.

General Comments:

Finest running car I've ever had.

Beautifully comfortable riding.

Wonderfully quick pick up.

Gives a feeling of safety because of all the metal rather than plastic.

Uses very little oil, even with its age.

I just love this car and never want to give it up.
