It has a very very faint "asymetrical" rotational noise coming from somewhere in the rear, at low speeds, & it's speed dependant, ( my mechanic cannot hear it, but I can ),,, this car handles & corners surprisingly well, brakes are totally adequate.. 1971 Factory style dual exhaust,,, This car has a VERY FIRM ride, & has all factory syle HD springs, front & rear, newer HD type shocks, rear shocks are Monroe overload shocks, fronts are, blue, Monroe-Matics,, car has biggest factory style, ( sized ), anti-sway bars,,, differential just serviced, with new synthetic gear oil,,, rear sway bar = just replaced all rubber bushings / grommets,, rebuilt starter,, rebuilt carb,, best tune up parts; plugs, wires, coil, cap, rotor,, inline fuel filter was added,,, oil pan is a milodon 6 qt, road race, gold colored pan,,, tranny just serviced, tranny pan was extremely clean, with no debris, in it,,, has a large plate style trans cooler, and very large, radiator, A/C compressor is missing the belt, otherwise all underhood A/C parts, are in place ...

Tranny takes 3 miles, in low gear, to warm up, before it will up-shift.

In the worst tie ups, crawling thru the worst traffic, sitting, idling, crawling, thru the worst heat, the car exhibits no over heating behaviors, whatsoever.. It just goes about it's business, like heat buildup, is never an issue.. The radiator fan is a HUGE mechanical clutched fan, and it seems to work extremely well ... The radiator, as far as I know, is the biggest one you can get, that fits, in a stock manner, in the stock location, etc. Again, the car has a big, "plate style", tranny cooler, also ...
