This car is in fantastic condition, imported by my Grandmother over 25 years ago. She drove it once or twice a week to functions and garaged it the whole time. I inherited it last year with the intention of bringing her back (the car not my Grandmother) to her glorious past. However, with 4 young sons and working nights, I just don't have the time to do her justice and need a second car like a hole in the head. Everything on her is stock except for her passenger side back door and radio. I even have the original First Aid Kit and fire extinguisher. The car is in amazing shape for a 30 year old with only cosmetic blemishes and a small ding or two. The inspection sticker is good, and she passes emissions. The engine runs perfectly without leaks and oil was changed every 3000 on the nose. With less than 80k miles on the car that equates to less than 3000 miles per year. Alright, here is the bad news, she needs rear shocks and has a small exhaust leak; these were the things I was ready to work on and I just can't get the time. My mechanic said the hole in the exhaust would cost $100, because its only a crack in the pipe. The shocks were more, he quoted me a price of $180 installed. There is little if any rust and the paint job is still wonderful. It breaks my heart to part with her, but a man must know his limits.
