In Reply to: 1972 3.0 csi question -- i need lots of opinions posted by andrew on February 09, 2002 at 20:14:35:

OK I exaggerate a bit, but really these cars run best if they're driven, reasonably hard, and reasonably regularly. If you only drive it below 2000rpm on the 3 mile trip to church once a week, then the engine tuning goes bad, the brakes slowly seize, the windows stop working - it's a disaster! I think they're like people - if you lie in bed for a week you'd be stiff too!

The mechanical engineering is 1st class (slight caveat over 70's cylinder heads excepted), and they are so much better for being driven.

The folks below have the details right too!

cheers,
Graeme
