I got this in the beginning of September, it had 95,000 original miles and was a California car until the late 90's. I am so in love with this car, everyone I took it to said there was nothing major wrong with it and then proceeded to try and buy it from me.
Its definitely older but in a very good condition for its age.

I'm not very mechanical and the only thing I've wrenched on in the past is my 86 Spree, but since I bought this I've learned a lot. I have changed the timing belt and replaced the valve cover gasket not to mention countless other small things that might be routine to some.
Went on ebay and got the factory service manual so thats a big help but there is so much to do......needs new carb, rust proof before winter, could use better shocks/struts, speedometer cable went out, etc.

Let me know what you think of my ride

Funny you say that, some dude at the car wash said he would swap the engine (I think he mentioned a HEMI). The engine in it now isn't very powerful, thats for sure...
