"A true classic and very underrated. Virtually ignored by collectors and cruisers"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

When I purchased it, it required a lot of money to get into good running order.

The water pump needed replacing.

The brakes were very expensive to replace since the rear calipers were different from the left and right.

The carb has needed multiple adjustments.

The choke tends to stick, causing it not to want to start when cold sometimes.

The power window motor on the driver's side broke not long after I purchased the car.

General comments?

The car is very luxurious and feels like riding on air when traveling at high speeds.

There is surprisingly enough power to haul the over 6000 lb chassis 0-60 mph quite quickly and extremely smooth.

The classic 1970's "big luxury car" is definitely an attention getter among the small cars of today.

Surprisingly the back seat offers very little room considering the car is over 19 feet long.

The weight listed is the gross vehicle weight. This is how much the vehicle weighs with a full tank of gas, fluids, and full payload. This curb weight is in fact 4600 lbs.
