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.

Youngsters.....

I drive a 1961 VW Bus.

It's almost as old as I am. Probably has over 500,000 miles on it (not on the engine, of course). Use it daily, and can haul console sets. No power steering, no power brakes, no electronic fuel injection, no power windows, no cruise control, no power door locks. Very reliable. If we ever do have a solar flare, I'll be the only guy in town that still has a running car.

i drive a 1977 gmc k20 4x4 pickup i restored in 04, i just bought a liftgate for it so it will be easyer to get tv's in the back. you know when you see one some where and pick up by yourself ,see im thinking ,when you see a console along the road and your by yourself now i can get it in my truck alone. if you have to get help your family member has time to talk you out of it,with a liftgate your pulling in the drive before anyone can say do you need another tv .
