I think it's in decent shape for the miles. I drove it for awhile today. It's got a squeal when you first start it, I suspect the serpentine belt - looks due to be replaced anyway, so I'll do that tomorrow. Feels like a brake rotor is warped as there's a shudder you can feel in the pedal when getting on the brakes hard above about 35mph. It runs well, shifts well, and drives well. Everything seems to work - it's got: power windows power locks power mirrors cruise a/c am/fm/cassette auto 4wd 4.0l engine No rust that I can see, good tires, a few cosmetic issues that you can see in the pics. -- Steve [link\|http://www.ubuntulinux.org\|Ubuntu] Edited by Steve Lowe May 14, 2006, 10:42:35 PM EDT Pics Pics of the Jeep are [link\|http://users.frii.com/slowe/images/Jeep/\| right here]. -- Steve [link\|http://www.ubuntulinux.org\|Ubuntu] Collapse All History

That had silver on gray two-tone paint and front and rear spoilers. This one does have the L-82 motor and a 4 speed, though. Pretty fun car, but really needs some TLC. 78 was the first year of the 'bubble' back window, and that body style was built through 1982. There was no 1983 production 'vette, the 1982 model was extended a few months and the new body style of 1984 was an early release, IIRC. -- Steve [link\|http://www.ubuntulinux.org\|Ubuntu]

At the back end, I still think I kind-of got it right -- the new body wasn't all that early, and the "82" model year was extended well into calendar year 1983, IIRC -- but the front end was a total brain fart. No, of course 1953 plus 25 doesn't quite equal 1979... (Let's pretend I got it mixed up because -79 was the first time I actually saw a Silver Anniversary Edition Corvette in the flesh, two-tone paint and all. In Zürich, that was, and I got several good looks at it -- because its driver seemed to be as confused by the one-way restrictions on some of that city's main thoroughfares as was my Dad. :-) [link\|mailto:MyUserId@MyISP.CountryCode\|Christian R.
