Had a '72. The engine pistons were running in the aluminum bores and wore out in no time. Alot of people with the 4 cylinder engine had the engine bored out and installed steel sleeves for the pistons to run on. These cars ran fairly well.
I kept my car in a garage, and washed and waxed it waay too much. I was horrified when the first rust bubble appeared in the paint. The guy that bought it from me put a 283 V8 in it.
I found a Sanyo built Sears 9" yesterday, full of compactrons. More to come on this later.
