    Southern Nevada-I am the third owner(!) of this little gem- it runs pretty good and needs a bit of cosmetic tender care but I cannot complain!

    Thanks! I thought so too- when hubby showed me the pictures i was like Oh thats cool I wouldn't mind having it! the rest is history- I had forgotten about it but the sneaky old man had other plans- came home from work one day last week to find in the front of the house with my son videoing my reaction to my birthday present- and my hubby laughing maniacally behind me...

    I actually like the big bumper-at any rate I will be keeping this car as original as I can as i am not interested in speed or aerodynamic performance-I like the way it looks. I do have stalling issues but I think when I have the weekend off I will get under the hood and check all my vacuum lines and hoses-the car has only been "sitting" for about 8 months so I am fairly confident the tank is clean_ that will be the last thing i look at as I want to do the "easy and obvious" first. My first car was a 70 Duster I got in 1982 and I was able to work that myself- I am thankful I know what points are! the next thing will be a tune up.
