I owned this car for 2.5 years before selling it to Scoutmaster. It was a great car. I bought it from Dzlchef in 2006 after seeing the ad on this site.

I got in the car yesterday to find the shifter linkage out of whack. All of the gears were off. The shift pattern was weird. I could hardly shift into reverse or 2nd. I adjusted the shift linkage per Dieselgeek's YouTube video and all of the gears work fine now.
