This car kind of fell into my lap, and we did a bunch of work to get it to a good driveable level. The parts replaced by me and my mechanic show that. The major mechanicals are solid. Motor doesn't smoke, bog, or have any trouble idling smoothly. The transmission shifts through all of the gear smoothly (thought it could use a set of shifter bushings). At this point, the major stuff is taken care of, and it needs some smaller issues addressed. The fog lights aren't working (probably a relay), and the front brakes should be replaced in the next 6 months. The stepper motors in the HVAC system have quit, so take the summer to get those replaced as well. The front shocks are due for replacement. Bottom line, it is a clean driver, a 10 foot looker, and an opportunity to own a limited production car that is just plain cool. Not many folks with one of these that has the 5-speed. Someone else (me) has done the hard work on the car, and it is inspected through the end of the year. Drive it, enjoy it, and tackle the little issues as you go.
