Faults:

Heater blower motor needed replacement.

General Comments:

Was a long time ago, but I bought this car for $400, drove it for 1 year, put no money into it except gas and a couple oil changes. The car was really worn out and tired, but still fun to drive and never let me down.

Sold it for same price I paid, to someone else who drove it for a year with no problems and sold it to someone else. Cheapest transportation I ever had, and the car refused to die.

Faults:

The carburetor had to be rebuilt.

Replaced the head gasket.

New exhaust system.

Smoked very badly when started. So, I replaced the '84 engine with an '86 in much better condition.

General Comments:

The problems I've had with the car should be expected with an older car with high mileage.

Handles extremely well on corners and sharp turns.

Slow at the line, but gains speed quickly after about 35 mph. Could definitely use a little more get up and go.

I like the body style. It's different than all the other sleek cars.

For a first car, it has been very dependable and great on gas mileage.
