The toughest part is finding a mechanic that will even touch it. With no OBD2 port to plug the computer into they have to think how to fix it.

And if it is is true original working order it will have great air conditioning, and easy steering input and a very soft ride.

My 1986 El Camino I bought in 1991 is my daily driver. The AC is just amazing, and parts are super cheap. Replacement starters, alternators, water pumps and power steering pumps are free! After 381,000 miles those parts have all been replaced with guaranteed for life parts, so replacements are free. I bought a set of front brake pads, GM Goodwrench pads, for $12 delivered. Yea, twelve bucks.

I bought an entire new engine, GM new, now remanufactured or rebuilt, but brand new 350 for $1,700 delivered to my door with a 2 year 24,000 mile warranty. The original engine was worn out after 300,000 miles and just the head work needed for a rebuild was more than the $1,700.
