[ QUOTE ] Sorry, but those cars are turds at best... A fully restored one goes for like 3K. Oil burnin' engineering nightmares. Hey why dont you put a V8 in one and really waste some money? [/ QUOTE ] My buddies rampside had well over 500,000 miles on it when it was rear-ended by a drunk driver Christmas Eve 2002. he found it in the desert in CA in the 70's. they leaked because the rubber O-rings on the pushrod tubes dried out when they weren't driven. Viton rings solves that problem. 4 wheel independent coil spring suspension (except 64 rears ), turbochargers, 4 speed transaxles, aluminum engines and heads, all on an entry level compact car. Thanks for your insight, Mr. Nader.
