I bought this vehicle new in September, 1978 from Fred M. Boerner Motor Co. in Huntington Park, California. She has over 350,000 miles. Engine has never been touched. Trany has been rebuilt twice. Have never had any major mechanical problems. Re-painted four years ago. (Fixed the usual rocker panel rust spots) Have replaced starter, wheel bearings, etc. over the years. Has not been restored, just kept in good shape all these years. Used extensively for hunting and fishing. Still goes where I need to go.

Engine

V-304A Gasoline (Has puffed smoke since day one when starting in AM) Most do.

Future Modifications

Replacing Calipers on front. Carpet to be changed out in about two weeks. Plan on touching up some of the little things that have deterioated over the years. Slide window buttons. Window channels, etc. Don't want to replace everything with new parts. Sorta like the personality present in the original parts.
