Description
I guessed the weight. It is an old carburated vehicle. Doesn't even have overdrive. Has the original 305 engine with a duel jet carburator (half a quadajet) and a 350 trans. Has 3.42 gears. Power locks and windows. It is not that fast. I am not going to sell it. Its purpose is to haul stuff and be the spare car. The milage went up reciently, since I raised the tire presure and I think the "high milage" Castrol 10w30 is helping alot. used to use volvoline or regular castrol.
Modifications
It is pretty much all original.

Removed rear seat. I don't use it and it is heavy.

Changed nut behind steering wheel from pass everyone on road to passed by everyone. That is one best things for FE. The gas petal is now a money petal.
Planned Modifications
