"A true classic stolen"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Speedometer does not work.

Problems with brake lights due to tail light lenses.

Muffler fell off.

Power steering belt broke.

Electric seat only moved in two directions.

Dome light didn't work.

Clock ticks loud.

General comments?

I got this car for a steal, (even though I didn't know it at the time) after my LeSabre died. My mechanic sold it to me for a mere $150.

This 98 is a solid car from North Carolina with NO rust and has only been through half of a Western NY winter.

When I bought the car I beat the crap out of it because frankly, I just didn't appreciate it enough. However as time has gone on, I really enjoy the car.

It is a real big, comfortable car. It has extremely big tires, so it rides nice and high. The smoothest ride I've ever had, and let me tell you, plenty of backseat and front seat room.

The previous owner had to replace the transmission, and when he did so, he never connected the speedometer backup, so ever since I've had it, I have not known how fast I'm going or how many miles I've put on. However I'd say withing a 10 month period, I've put on at least 10,000. Also the owner gave the engine more horse by taking out whatever he could. This car has some mad balls, except I need a new tranny.

As of present, I've stored her away for the winter, and am currently trying to restore her. Its kind of hard, because no one seems to have these cars anymore, and especially the parts I need.
