I drove one my husband had on his lot for awhile, I liked the car and the way it drove. You could hear when the sprocket started moving and they pulled it apart and welded it before it did any damage. Never had a problem after that. I think he had the last year of that body stlye 95? He also had an older sho that was a stick but it wasn't near as good of shape as the other and it was the old body style.
