History
Purchased used but well cared for in 1985. Rebuilt/renovated and slightly hotrodded at 200,000 miles. Complete suspension upgrade to stiffen and improve street ride and handling. Worked over engine for more heat while still being able to pass CA smog tests. Repainted and redid leather. Car looks completely stock inside and out unless it is parked next to a stock spider. Invested ~15K in refresh. Not radical but very fun. Car has about 250K on clock and feels better than new.
