How's it doing on the island?

As far as the FR-S goes, it has been the most reliable car I have ever owned. And I've owned a lot.
hi WNDSRFR, the Corona is all good, it just time for an engine rebuild @ 159K miles and 50 yrs old, shes never had one. Shes become addicted to the wild turkey(10w-40) once a month. thats why i was thinking of putting the 3SGE in it. the 18 RC rebuild would cost about $1500 and still have 50 yr old technology or spend $3500 approx. for 20 yr old technology that is much better. heres a pic, the surf rack doubles as a tree carrier too (LOL). heres my other baby, 84' elky, just got done with an off frame on this, has an LT1 now.
