"This car would have been a bargain at three times what I paid for it"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Needs all new upholstery (best estimate so far $1200).

Rear wheel cylinders failed at 80000 miles.

Air conditioner not functional.

Right rear tail light gasket needs to be replaced; fixture currently used as a rain gauge.

General comments?

This car makes young and old alike stop and look.

Gas mileage is better than expected.

Body roll (under-steer) is bad, will need aftermarket anti-sway bars to correct.

Completely dependable. Never fails to start. I Would drive this car anywhere.

Rear window fogs up in cold or humid weather; takes a while to clear up.

Interior and trunk space is excellent.
