    That car used to be in my neighborhood. I never understood why the guy didn't drive it more often, it seemed to be nice and reliable. My dad painted the steering wheel on it but it was pretty rough and I'm sure it's cracking by now.

    Always VERY neat rides ! Need very little to be reliable, rare drivers. The Hemi is a PLUS !

    The dash in these is unique, and the total package if a real find !

    Best of luck with it...
