Very nice. I feel the same way about my '85 - though I never was a terrible speed demon in it, I got it at 17 and it's been to 6 states. Moving from MO to KY when I was 23, I knew the transmission was getting iffy but changed the fluid, crossed my fingers, and towed 9,000 lbs. of my stuff 450 miles without a hiccup. It hasn't been my daily for 4 years, but every time I get in it it's like putting on a favorite glove. So ditto from another squarebody owner to whom age is just a number.
