 HughAfter a couple of years you know by now these jems require more mainta=
intenance than modern cars.That being said you are looking at a car several=
 decades older than your current ride.Cost versus condition boils down to y=
our skills and pocketbook.I just read that anything that can cast a shadow =
can be restored, so what you can't do, prepare to pay to have done.Rust is =
the big culprit. Examine inner and outer rockers. The frame is generally ro=
bust.Many "improvements" may have been done over the years. Try to get a li=
st or understanding of what's been done.Most mechanical bits are comprable =
to your Spit in price and availability.After 24 years I still enjoy my "196=
0 driver".Happy hunting.Tom
