It was the best handling car I ever drove. It had a funny little 30 second timer switch on the left side of the dash that would activate your turn signal for 30 seconds. I did not have the beefed up engine but cruising speeds of 75mph was easy to hold. Problems I encountered were electronic fuel pumps that went every 12k (Lucas electric - so guess why), when the car got older, they spokes in the wire wheels loosened so they had to be rebuilt in order to balance them, the top was a bitch both up & down and it tended to leak a little at speed in the rain...but, I did love that car...not the fastest of the line (when everyone else was into muscle cars) but it could take street corners at 50mph! Springtime, summer and fall in Chicago were a joy in that car! Kept it until I had kids!
