History

I bought the car in Los Angeles on July 7, 1998, with the objective of driving it across the US to the East Coast. Five weeks later we arrived in Baltimore, and the car was shipped to Norway. I had no real problems with the car during the whole trip. The car is now registered in Norway, license plate number C-467.

The previous owner (an automotive parts buyer) did the following on the car: 3-row radiator, thermostat (160F), new water pump, new fuel pump, rebuilt carburetor, complete brake system, complete suspension, new tires (205/70R14), dual exhaust system w/ trumpets, engine and transmission overhaul in 1996.

I have done the following: new gas cap, wheel covers, trunk mat and spare wheel cover, various ornaments, halogen headlights, reupholstered driver's seat, new carpet, paint touch-up, brake alignment, new motor mount brackets and insulators, new starter motor and starter relay, new door weatherstripping, new alternator.

The car passed the mandatory "EU test" in August, 2000, in 2002, and in 2004 w/out remarks.
