Had one from 1980 to 2000. Odometer went around twice. Simply replaced the main and rod bearings every 60,000 miles, and protected the 5-speed gearbox with Redline synthetic gear oil. The home-made A.C was invaluable on hot/wet days. Car hugged the road as though it had suction cups.
Must have been a good car. A local collision shop, here in Brooklyn, tried to steal it twice.
You had to ask. I now realize how much I miss it. Thanks a lot.
