| Notes: |
Bought in 96 in Reno NV, All original whith 140,000 miles. It had just been rebuilt and I got it for $1500 because it was a gas guzzler. Once I replaced the leaking fuel pump my gas mileage went up. She was my daily driver for 8 years then I parked it and made a project out of her. I dont think I'll ever be done.
