Suspension looks and feels good. I test drove it before I bought it. It's weird it's the first 6 cylinder I've ever owned and I really feel how much lighter the front end is. I'm going to paint it the original color, I don't know the name of the color but it's an ice blue, that's what the previous owner called it.

so your going the traditional factory route?
For the most part now, aftermarket wheels though. It will end up with a V8. Probably do a disc brake conversion in a few months. Swap out the rear axle, the cheap stuff lol.
Nice, every since my accident in mid 2016, I've been losing interest in older cars. Plus mythbusters did a thing on older cars vs newer cars. In a 40mph head on, the older car had more death blows(on the dummy) then the newer car.
I would have thought the older car would have been safer.
Well...the body is tougher on older cars but newer cars have more safety features.
Yep, those crumple zones, and airbags work good.
Things like crumple zones leave the car body in worse shape, but better distribute the energy of a crash away from the occupants. There has also been significant changes made to cars in the last decade to prevent death during rollover (why you see much thicker a pillars in newer cars, and why they can have those roof mounted tents)
Also just signed my richest client yet thanks in large part to a conversation about keeping fish we had last Thursday at the California Academy of Sciences Nightlife event. rather looking forward to that .95% of managed funds every year.

Yeah, for instance a lot of people lost their lives due to steering columns going through them , now they crumple and it has an airbag on the end of it, so people aren't dying like that much anymore.
