TIDBITS
* was a "left over" 1981 MC when my Dad purchased it
* almost did not become part of our family due to "dealer error"
* Dad did not want the original rally wheels...so dealership swapped wheels & tires with a 1982 Chevrolet Malibu
* as of MAY 2002, original V6 engine is still running, with 187K miles, though the "professional" mechanics have no idea why or how!
