Needs: At some point, which is going to be up to your determination, it will need a new transmission. The original 4 speed is starting to show it's age. The gears work fine, but the synchros are starting to go so there is some grumbling when changing gears!
No problems really. I drove it every non rainy day for 6 months while I was waiting to find a new car. Drove my F-350 on the rainy days! During that time the Chevy 350 it had when I bought it, failed. So I put a new one in! At the same time I had the fuel system checked out and improved upon.
It's a fun ride, heater works, it's all pretty good!
