Great Car Although Not Completely Muscle — They run great, the emission controls sucks. The are build solid. This car hardly had any rust. It got great gas mileage out of the 2.8 liter (17 in town, 21 on the highway), they are not the easiest to find parts for. The best part about the car is the feel and drive. There is almost any road noise and it rides incredibly comfortable. They are pretty peppy, but geared for the highway.

Pros

V8, T-Tops

Cons

Minor leaks, older interior

Excellent Condition! — The V8 engine gives the acceleration a considerable boost. The body is in great shape with t-tops. The rims are aluminum and the paint job is custom. (I can't give it a good review cause I don't know what all is in it...)

Sexy — I plan to make my car look gorgeous. I am going to paint it a metallic fusia over a metellic blue Tri-coat. The previous of whom I was very close to, owner is dead and she loved the color purple.

Sound Of The Car. By Griml0ck5S

I dislike the exhaust that is stock on the car, it really muffles the sound of the car, but throwing on an after market modification will intensify the sound, and it'll sound as powerful as it looks. ... Read More
