I had one of these many moons ago...in white, also...I loved the car..I bought it (very) used and my brother and I had to replace a piston and set of rings (actually a snap job)...except for the torquing down of the head, without a torque wrench... (I thought I had it about right...wrong!) which necessitated another head gasket change...Those cars were just so easy to work on...It had a Borg Warner tranny....great piece of machinery..It may have been the roomiest car I ever owned..What the article doesn't mention is that a major front-end change, ball joints vs. kingpins made it a much better riding, more reliable car... I likened it to a huge, white, bread-box...Loved it.
