"A Wonder Of Engineering"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Rebuilt engine at 300,000.

Turned rotors.

New Wheel Cylinder / Shoes.

Many sets of tires/ air filters/ fuel filters/ wiper blades.

New clutch.

New cold start valve.

Needs new suspension, but not urgently.

Odometer broke at about 243,000, so 365,000 is a projection.

Throttle adjustment screw broke a few months ago.

New seat covers.

AC doesn't work.

General comments?

This car has nice handling and it can still get up to speed after all these years.

It smokes a lot when it starts, so I gotta change the oil every 1000 miles or so.

Most people will brag about speed, well milk 365 K miles out of a ricer... I'm going to keep this car to a million miles.

So much of this car has been replaced, but the soul is still there.

So I just drove the car 600 miles from Yorktown to Cleveland. I want to make a reality TV show out of my car.
