General comments?
I found this car in a barn at a buddys grandparents house. The car was "rust proofed" when it was first bought in 1984. I bought the car for $100.00. The car ran and drove nicely, but I replaced the major components since I was going to be using it as a daily driver. The car has performed great and hasn't let me down at all!! I'd buy 5 more if I could find them!
