I had one back when I started college. When I bought it, it had 180,000 on it and the speedo was broke then. I figured it had over 200,000 as the guy told me it had been broke for a few years. I fixed the sppedo gear and put another 50,000 on it. It was all good, until someone sat on the hood. (The battery was a top mount and the hood bent down and touched both terminals.) It melted every wire in the car. I gave the car away, as I didn't think it was worth fixing. The new owner fixed the wiring and sold the car to a girl in the military. Up to a few years ago, I knew it was still running on the original engine. Trust me when I say, that thing will run forever.....
