  • After 4 years of ownership, I traded the Mark III in on April 12, 1993.  I added an additional 17k miles to the odometer, bringing the total to 92k.

  • It may not look like it.  But this car came a long way over those 4 years.  It couldn't be started/driven when I first brought it home in August 1989.  I fixed things little by little as my budget and very limited skills would allow.  Once it passed PA State Inspection, it settled into daily driver mode.  <br />

I was able to fix most of what I encountered in spite of my limited knowledge.   More significant issues began to make themselves known, (like rust).  A lot of work was soon going to be needed to get the car through State Inspection.  I decided to trade it in which made my wife at the time quite happy.  She never really understood what I saw in the car.  But I loved it and enjoyed my time thoroughly behind the wheel.
