The odometers were broke so no one knew how many miles

The odometers were broke so no one knew how many miles were drove. Just by going over 85. Mine said 58,000 miles. It broke down almost every month. I paid thousands to fix and then the block cracked within 9 months.

Can't go wrong with this great fun car.

It's been 7 years since I wrote my last review on the same car . Not much has changed since then. I have made a few up grades each year. Bluetooth for an unbelievable concert type sound with or without the T-tops on , Added heat deflective padding under the carpeting and went with a new AC system for really hot summer days. Prices are a bit higher to get into the 80 to 82 models. These ride so much better than the 68 to 79 years. Also, they look cleaner with the built-in rear spoiler. From kids to older adults, Parts are a breeze still to get and its going on 43 years old. You get a lot of thumbs up with smiles on the road with this classic
