I bought this 80' TE off the original owner, only 160 thousand kays. Dead stocker, it had the granny shields, chrome dress rings on the wheels, AM Radio (with the 20 year old warranty in the glovebox!) Wasnt long (2 days to be exact) before it got the springs got the chop :) and the bloody AM tape deck got the flick. The stock motor went ok (hey it used to limo up in the wet, with an auto!) but she decided to drink more oil than petrol.....the rings! Ive played with her a little bit now....watch out for an update
