At the time I really liked it. It was a "350 hp" automatic. It was reasonably comfortable, reasonably fast and drank like Lindsay Lohan. I replaced the QJ with a Holley spreadbore and it ran a little better and the highway fuel economy went up slightly. But there was no getting around what it was. It was a rust prone elephant. To say it "handled" is a gross overstatement.

I friend of mine occasionally asks me if I wish I still had it. The answer is unequivocally NO! If someone is interested in performance vehicles, 4 or 2 wheeled, these are the "good old days." If they just want "old," well, as humfrz would probably agree, "old ain't much to write home about."

Actually, I made it at home -
