30 year old cruiser = RUST

it's never gonna let ya down reliability wise. as long as maintenance is kept up. too true on the rust sadam, and the ease of mod cons like heater and aircon wont be available to ya too easily..

dont expect blistering performance.. she's an old technology wagon, so if ya dont mind 'cruisin' (excuse the pun.. ) around at a moderate speed, you'll be goodly.

i'd love one just to do that and for the nostalgia factor.

bj42 = teh coolies..

I ran one of them back in Oz in the early nineties. Good reliable motor.
