Before I purchased the car witch had 247000 miles on it; the engine was rebuilt, the car was repainted, the vinyl top was replaced and the seats were recovered. The Transmission went out at about 249000 miles. The CV join at the rear of the drive-shaft was rebuilt at about 251000 miles. I replaced the water pump at 253000 miles.
Tons of bottom-end torque and extremly comfortable to drive.
That is actually a U-joint at the rear of the driveshaft, not a cv joint. The only vehicles in the US in 1974 that had cv joints, besides 4WDs, were the Eldorado/Toronado.
And some VWs and Renaults.
