I bought it from my Grandmother in 1986 (when I turned 16-1/2) for
$1.00. Today, it gets 14 MPG day-to-day driving, ran a 13.31 @ 105.3 and
has run 11.65 @ 118 on nitrous, all in 100% street trim (except for 235-60-15
drag radials). This is a true daily driven car, I commute 60+ miles every
day, during the non-salted-road months. Car weighs 4150 - 4300 lbs with
me in it (depending on how much gas is in the tank).
Body is basically stock, but engine modifications include *everything*
(well except for the power steering pump, which is still the original).
