Overall:

Another Ab Beater — I bought the first summer I went to Edmonton for work, I paid $250 for this old dodge with 178,000kms and the leaning tower of power without the power (slant 6). I do not have a picture of this car.

Pros: Cheap transportation for work, realiable

Cons: very under powered for a car this size, carburetor was out of adjustment and was very tricky to get going in the cold mornings if you didn't know how to feather the gas pedal just right.
