Runs and drives GREAT. LOTS OF POWER. Easily keeps up with modern highway traffic. In the summer of 2019, the current owner drove this car from Portland, Oregon to Tucson, Arizona (a 1,400+ mile trip!) It ran flawlessly as it does today. I have personally driven this car and it is a kick to drive. The fuel injection works perfectly and gives it an added punch that surprises many drivers when you pass them on the road.
