It's an 83, engine is a 305 (carburetor, not TBI) with about 4k miles since i | |
replaced it, if that. Transmission (5-speed) was rebuilt about 2000 miles | |
ago. | |
It is a T-top, which are kinda leaky to be honest. New seals are available, | |
just never had the time to replace them. | |
The good: | |
It runs like a beast, I would trust this car mechanically without a problem. | |
I've done all the work on it myself. It's also very, very loud by design. The | |
exhaust is made of these: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/BIG-50232FLT/ | |
Transmission shifts very smoothly, clutch is an aftermarket hydraulic clutch and works | |
perfectly. | |
New interior (seat fabric, carpet, headliner). | |
Car was repainted in 07, but the place where I had it painted didn't do a very good | |
job at prepping it, so there are some places where the paint is peeling off. | |
It makes you want to put on some a cutoff flannel shirt, blast some classic | |
rock and grow a mullet. | |
The bad: | |
It is strictly a summer, fair weather car. This is because there is no heater | |
of any kind in it. When i bought it, it didn't work and there was no making | |
it work. It went away. The parts aren't even there. | |
The odometer and speedometer do not work. The cable that runs to the | |
transmission for this was sheared off when I bought it and I've never been | |
able to find a replacement, no matter how hard i tried. I use a gps for a | |
speedometer. | |
The windshield wipers also have some kind of electrical issue, sometimes they | |
work, sometimes they don't, more often they don't. In fact, i don't even have | |
them on the car, they are in the back seat. See "this is strictly a summer | |
car". | |
So basically, it just has to go away. I have to get rid of it, it's a very | |
reliable car when its bright and sunny and isn't going to rain. I've put my | |
life into this car. |
