Runs and drives like an 85 year old hot rod. Squeaks and rattles, drips a little from rear and trans, makes noise and is lots of fun to drive. Could stand an alignment but I've driven it to Harrisburg, New Jersey, York Springs and a few other long distance trips without issue. Runs 55-60 pretty well but more comfortable at 45. $22,500 OBO.
