I had a 79 wagon for 15 years as a family car. I loved that car for the way it drove and looked. It did cause me a lot of work though. The thrust main went on it, the TH200 went, and the carrier and axle bearings went twice. I put a TH350 in it and a new crank and drove it another 150,000 miles. The people that bought it were thrilled with it's condition. It was always kept under cover.
