General Comments:
Well considering it had A LOT of miles, 182,473 to be exact, I guess it had a lot of history.
The guy I bought it from, had it since it was BRAND NEW. He had original title. He told me that he traveled a lot from Kansas to Oklahoma near Texas for 13 years to family reunions, holidays etc. He showed me papers, receipts etc of all the tune ups, oil changes and such he had done.
When I got it for $200, it ran GREAT! Only problems it had that I could not afford to fix are it had a lot of front and rear suspension problems; both front and rear shocks, struts, springs, bearings, etc, but other than it was a good car.
I got to 220,000 miles before the shocks and struts gave out, and the tires would rub on the cover between the engine and tires. I did manage to talk $700 out of the salvage yard for the engine, transmission and other running parts.

If your car cannot go faster than 85 mph, there is something wrong with it.
