My 79 Burb had been beat before I ever saw it. It lasted two years, then the motor took a dump, and the rear is a screaming for attention. I took the 2 grand I had saved up, and bought this 78 instead.
Paint is darn near perfect. 6 inch lift, $1200 new tires and wheels, and runs like a dream.
I do need to get the wipers to work, and the heater core replaced, but I dot my monies worth.
