This cruiser runs and drives as good as when I brought it home 12 years ago (actually better). Solid, tight, sits level, runs straight, strong, and smooth. It is fun to drive -- a head-turner for sure. I occasionally drive it to the college where I teach (about 30 miles round trip). The tires are 235 75 16 on nice alloy wheels. Almost new tires -- maybe 300 miles on them -- really no wear. The GM 250 6-cylinder power plant doesn't burn oil, runs strong, and purrs like a kitten. Regular oil changes, etc. No choke, so needs the gas pedal pumped a bit to start in cold weather. After that, it starts as if it had electronic ignition. It has a 2.5 inch diameter tube roll bar (hard to see in the pictures). Speedo and odometer are disconnected. The gas gauge doesn't register fuel level -- the needle just moves a bit indicating there's fuel. I've added a couple of switches on the dash over the years to accommodate easy access to headlights/running lights/backup spotlight. It is not a show-car for sure -- but it is rugged -- it's a Land Cruiser. Feel free to contact me with any questions, clarifications. Exact mileage is unknown.
