"Great ride and performance for a sedan"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Radiator side tank started leaking at 143,000.

Transaxle pan leaks and still leaks even after several fluid and filter changes.

There is a loud clunking noise in the front suspension and I'm unable to find the problem.

The engine uses 1 guart of oil for every 1 thousand miles, but it doesn't smoke.

General comments?

The car has very quick acceleration from a stand still, will roll smoke from the front tires.

Passing other vehicles is no problem under wide open throttle.

The car will peg the 85mph speedometer, needle hits the over-drive selector and stops moving.

The trans-axle will still downshift from over-drive to third gear, even at 85 mph.

ABS brakes are great and it will stop on a dime.

I'd be checking your head gasket on it if I were you.
