Two years, virtually maintenance free, using semi exotic parts, daily driver and in all kinds of weather? What kind of life does the olde girl have. Well cared for? Low mileage? Grandma to church on Sunday style driving? Or are we talking 60 mile commute in traffic each way, gone through three sets of tires and she's cold started in the snow in the front yard every morning? Few hard licks down the track on Wednesday nite? Most people don't realize that motors of the time where only designed to last about 30 thousand miles before timing chains and gears were $hit and needed attention.
