"Good, reliable, runs all day."

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Headliner fell down, climate control doesn't work (either the motor is broken, or there is no coolant charge).

Valve cover bold broke off (torqued it too much) Sound system is shot from heat exposure. All electric windows are very difficult to operate. Drivers seat adjustments don't work. That's about it after 8 years of sitting in one place.

General comments?

Very very comfortable car. My tires are bald, and this thing roasts all the way around a corner. I just got new spark plugs, speakers, air intake hose, and I'm going to clean the carb. it putters off the line, and I heard it only has 3 gears? The engine makes up for it, though. It's a good car.

Owned a 79 caddy for about 7 years, had about 120,000 on the clock when I got it from my grandparents .

The car was grandmas baby...

Drove it to 297.000 when the original timeing chain let go sold the old girl for 100.00, and cried as I watched her leave on a trailer.

I miss that car too this day...
