Since everything was original when I bought the car, I began replacing all the stuff that was aging. This included, battery, battery cables, starter, wires, plugs, points, fuel lines, brakes, brake lines, master cylinder, wheel cylinders, hoses, belts, power steering hoses, etc.

Gas mileage, you ask? Well, if you were to use this beast as your daily driver, you would go broke. I get about 9.5 mpg average city/highway on premium fuel.
