I owned a 66 3.8 MOD for a few year. White with red leather and chrome wires. Smelled great inside - horsehair and leather. Motor was like syrup. Suspension was ok but tightened up after I replaced all the bushings and shocks. The biggest issue I had with it was the stupid starter carb. It is electric and would gum up due to fuel evaporation making starting a chore. The front chassis crows feet rust so check those. In fact the whole car rusts so if it’s rusty walk away. They are 1950s technology but really do have charm. They easily keep up with modern traffic. Parts are available.
