i bought an 88 v8 earlier this year. it allready had a lot of miles on it (150000), but was still running good. the body had no rust or major damage, and the inside was pretty clean. since it was a one owmer car i decided to buy. after some maintenance (rear shocks, diff oil, fuel filter, front and rear crankshaft seal, trans oil and filter, engine oil and filter change, spark plugs, wires, intake manifold gasket, air cleaner and drive belt) i thought the bird will fly again w/o problems. unfortunately not. a few month later the coolant pump gave up. than the power steering pump, than the fan clutch, an finally i put a heavy duty radiator for allmost 200 bucks in the birdy. i also bought a set of 16" pony wheels to make her look good. after spending 2500 for the car, i still had to spent a couple hundret $$$$$$$$ for maintenance and parts i did not expect to break that soon. but it drives pretty good. right noe i'm thinking of putting a fuel injected 460 in it. if any one has ideas about that project, please let me know.
