Oh yeah easy! great looking car there! Mine is just about to hit 200k. Still running and driving like new. When I did the Valve Cover gaskets the cams and inside there looked amazing still. These cars are truly impressive! Interior still looks and feels like new. I really enjoy these cars

Yeah, not the first time I've heard that lol. Issue is a little deeper than you might suspect though. Before the car was mine, someone took it right into a wall and properly jacked up the entire front. Whatever collision shop got it after did a pretty terrible job and all the headlight mounting is either bent or missing completely. To do it right id need the front clip off another one and weld it on, along with a new hood, bumper, and front fenders, in addition to headlight housings since those don't have the mounting points anymore either. All in all, not really feasible for a broke college kid but I made a promise with the car that if she got me through college and well enough into my career that I could justify it financially, I'd do a full restoration. For now though, a little electrical tape does the trick.

I hope you are wrong. Ready for at least hundred seventy thousand more. That's where my car at. Take care of it, it will take care of you.
