It has grease zerks on the door hinges. The aluminum hemi head double overhead cam straight six cylinder motor was used by Jaguar for 45 years. The body metal is about twice as thick as todays cars. The motor puts out 220 hp from the 3.8 liter motor ,which is close to 1hp per cu.in.. Muscle car performance without computers and variable valve timing. The headlights are glass and don't glaze up. Designed to be worked on with access covers that can be removed to get to certain bolts. The most complicated item on the whole car is the double overhead cams. Drawbacks are the sorry Lucas electronics (Lucas Lord of Darkness), 19 mpg, and being worth more than I want to risk driving amongst todays distracted drivers.</p></blockquote><p></p>
