Cold with that uninsulated top, rusted, dismal gas mileage, terrible short coupled ride, My other auto is a .45 The bitterness of poor quality is remembered long after the sweetness of low price has faded from memory

This '71 was in much better shape when I bought it in '92, and is in worse shape now since this pic was taken - rust is taking a toll. Last edited by JGray; 03/28/20.

I did some serious checking to find a floor shift conversion kit and made the a real low ball off. They grabbed it just to be rid of it. That was the best deal I've ever got. The kit cost under $50 at the time and took under an hour to install. It worked great. I put 100k on it over the next 7 or 8 years and sold it for almost what I'd paid for it. It seriously needed a 4-spd but when I needed a lower gear, I'd just put it in low. The big issue was the weather stripping around the door windows. It was a special deal, hard to find, and really expensive. I never did replace them. It would have cost as much as it was worth. “In a time of deceit telling the truth is a revolutionary act.” ― George Orwell It's not over when you lose. It's over when you quit.
