Faults:

I tend to have trouble with the new alternator draining my new battery in extremely cold weather.

The right pop-up headlight motor is obviously a nuisance, but it can still be raised manually.

Aside from that I can't say much about defects since I bought this car in a very much used condition.

Since then I have replaced just about every worn out part as it burns out from the smallest fuse to the transmission except for the engine itself which still runs.

So far I have not had any major issues. The money I have invested into it including purchase price is still a bargain.

General Comments:

After all the repairs so far, all stock parts no fancy performance parts yet:

This car is simply a dream to drive. And since it's black I get the usual "Knight Rider" and "Smokey and the Bandit" comments despite its desperate need for a paint job.

It doesn't like to idle, but racing down the thruway is an awesome feeling.

The V8 engine is a gas guzzler. I refuel every 4 days, but it's worth it. I wouldn't forgive myself for paying those prices if it were any other car.

The body is solid cold steel! A few weeks ago I accidentaly plowed into a car's rear door. I pulled out of the dent without a groove in my baby's nose. Barely felt the impact!

The built-in speakers boom with the $50 CD player I got at Wal-Mart.

Faults:

Front flip up headlights give me grief, the switch burns out a lot. Trying to figure out if it's a short.

Rusting in all the usual spots.

Bit of a rattle in the back hatch.

Struts needed replacing. Hood and hatchback.

Fuel pump likes to blow.

Overall this is a great car. I've had a few little issues here and there that are very annoying and on occasion persistent.

You can't beat the look with that sharp front nose. The lines are great from front to back.

The thing is fast and easy to modify. Working on it is generally easy with the odd "why the heck did they put that there?" but that's pretty normal.

Comfortable and SUPER fun to drive.

When you hit the highway it likes going fast. The ride is super smooth the faster it goes.

As long as I take care of it, it takes care of me.

Faults:

Drivers side seat is ripped.

Needs bodywork, and a new floor.

T-tops leak like crazy!

Needs a paint job.

Needs an exhaust, from the cat back.

Needs a headliner.

General Comments:

Pretty gutsy for a V-6.

Runs great for a car with almost 200,000 KM on it!

Interior was in great shape.

Great dashboard, with really original red lights instead of the usual green.
