"Comfortable like a luxury car, power like a muscle car, drives like a dream"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Clutch Fan, though that was because the car sat for almost a year.

Thermostat, cheap to replace, so it wasn't a hassle.

Transmission Filter got clogged, again is something that needs to be replaced regularly anyway.

General comments?

Great car. Lots of power under the hood. This car can take more than half those plastic cars made today. Very (and I mean VERY) comfortable interior. If you have ever seen the commercial for Sealy mattresses where they say why they don't make cars, this car is that comfortable. Flashy design, reliable. Little expensive on gas though. Sounds like a beast, and will impress many people driving "other" cars.

I just bought one from a used car lot and the Harmonic Balencer was not hooked up at all it was just hanging their, and It ended up overheating and the oil pump started to go out. For the price I paid it should of lasted me at least 6 months, but it only lasted about 2 weeks.
