"Buy one someone spent money on or don't bother"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Engine doesn't appreciate high revs for very long when getting tired.

3 major gearbox rebuilds.

3 new clutches 11 inch.

2 sets unis (gearbox destroyed 1 set)

2 sets points.

2 coils.

17 new tires.

Smokey motor uses lots oil.

2 diffs.

New ignition barrel.

G grids roll off rim way too easily.

General comments?

Under steers chronically.

Slow and heavy to turn with spool.

My rollcage makes getting in and out harder.

No door trim makes traveling rough.

Worst car ever owned.

What did you expect buying a car that was made in 1974?

Like come on Mate, it may be old, but it a classic, Have some respect for your elders. without these there would be no VU's.

GO THE HJ!!! I think this model controls great you kick it in the guts and pull her back and she responds and follows, once you learn to appreciate one of these you carnt go wrong. As for the newies they are may more harder to keep in line I would rather these old skool soldiers then these newies any day.
