"Good first car"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

The valve cover gasket needed to be replaced.

The rear end gasket was replaced.

Paint is getting worn.

General comments?

This was my first car during high school and it worked very well. Was reliable, got decent gas mileage, and could get me from point a to b. Not very fast, but this car is heavy. Good cruiser. Good in snow.

If your car wasn't at least a little peppy, something was wrong with it, and actually, these cars are very light, even by today's standards- curb weight of under 3,000.
