The Goat
About this Previous Vehicle:
I bought this car back in '92 with a bad engine, screwed up wiring, bad clutch/bad Muncie M-21,and a really messed up suspension. The good news was that the prior owner had restored it very well cosmetically but the drivetrain was a mess.
I ended up selling it in '03, the car had sat in storage since '95 when I moved to Japan. I didn't want to get rid of it but needing a car that was more family oriented when I returned to the states was a necessary evil. I miss her but I'd be better off with a car like this when the kids are out of the house and I have more money than I know what to do with. I'll update this as I remember what I did to it and I'll add some pics later.....gotta dig them up.
